Key Points
Sho Kosugi
The twentieth century was the century of Europe, the 21st century is the century of Asia.
Kurban Said
Asia aspires to the unearthly, and Europe - to the earthly. Therefore, Europe needs real, full of life images. Asia is looking for a soul outside the matter. This is a rejection of the Platonic idea of representing things through the image of a person or animals, i.e transient.
Gennady Prashkevich
Asia is the time slipping through one’s fingers.
