In the 1980s, in Vienna, Austria, the Olsbergers held an "artist dinner" at their home. At 11:30 in the evening, the so-called "artist dinner" has not yet started, and everyone is waiting for the arrival of the dinner guest - the famous Burgtheater actor. I sat on the sofa chair with a headrest and waited while observing the people at the dinner party. I recalled my experience of being close to and alienated from the art world over the past few decades, the various situations of artists, and Joanna's funeral during the day today. In my eyes, they suffered artistic or spiritual collapse decades ago. It can even be said that their entire souls collapsed. All the people in the music room heard me say the words "art world" and "art spirit" as if I were talking, like the Olsbergers, about "artists' dinners". They only paid attention to the sound of these words when I said them, and they had no way of understanding what meaning these words meant to me when I said them.
