The ‘burning astronaut’! This theme first appears in the ‘Room of dead astronauts’. However, in this case ‘burning’ still has a strong psychological connotation. It refers to creative sparks, a kindling feeling, a burning sensation in the spirit, a consuming desire for knowledge. Burning is a fight-the passionate overhauling of Viennese necrophilia, and commitment to life.
