Niederreissen der vierten Wand Explanation: The fourth wall is a term used in acting: it is an "invisible, imagined, or implied wall through which the audience sees the performance." Fourth wall bashing refers to breaking down the barrier between the artist (actor/painter/etc.) and the audience/viewer/etc. A translation I would suggest reads like this: "Hier muss ich hinzufügen, daß ich entschlossen bin, das Bild des Zuschauers und des Künstlers zu zerstören, weil wir alle das Werk zusammen schaffen...das berühmte "Niederreissen der vierten Wand" ist für mich entscheidend dafür, wie wir Theater, Malerei, alle Künste betrachten".

das Zertrümmern der berühmten Trennwand (zwischen Publikum und Künstler) Explanation: can't find this famous term anywhere. I just imagine that viewers and artist(s) or artifacts are in different rooms.They could still communicate from three-walled rooms, but the fourth wall seperates them completely. Bashing is not demolishing, of course. I prefer Abbau der berühmten Trennwand, but that' not what it says either. xxx |
