there only by searching for motifs and transforming them through detailed
analysis. Hiller’s works, in which he aimed for the utmost simplicity,
materialize in linę with a natural need. The artist did not attach any special
significance to the method by which the finał arrangement of forms was
achieved. He defined and arranged the forms according to his own rules,
creating “things” in the philosophical sense of the word, and placing them in
specially formed “existences”. He chose and then isolated or linked elements
of the real world and presented them in a completely natural way, showing
them exactly as they are. Form leads to the creation of a new existence, thus
consolidating reality.
