Wien - Kunst

The classic 90s anime franchise Evangelion proposes a theory where humanity can overcome its bodily boundaries and unite their souls as one, brought onwards by mankind, a forced step in evolution.

Wien - Kunst

Ein Zauberwort * aus dem Lateinischen, auf Deutsch „ich werde verwandelt werden“, das paradoxerweise nichts in etwas verwandelt, sondern nur auf die Zeitlichkeit des Vorganges an sich verweist.
