Zuercher on Anselm KieferGiven that you can't flip through a giant lead book (even if the museum allowed you to), pieces like Meteorites and The Secret Life of Plants send a message that there's inaccessible knowledge here. In fact, that's one of the big points of Kiefer's books: By making them monumental, he implies their larger-than-life origins. Maybe they were made for giants, or bigger people than we are. Maybe there's even a "lost, original Book" (as Arasse puts it), whose secrets are locked away on those steel shelves. Like a man jacking off onto accountants' ledgers, the story is absurd, disturbing, and just a little bit thrilling.
