This text explores the ontological nature of the artwork, questioning whether it can be defined as an event. The author challenges the traditional view of a work as a static, finished object (factum) that resists change. He argues that the fixed external form—be it a statue, a painting, or a musical score—represents only the outer shell and a "gate" to the work's essence. A true work of art possesses an event-like character (fiens) and requires continuous completion and actualization through the subject, whether a viewer or a performer. Thus, the work only truly becomes a work at the moment of its realization, which must occur repeatedly. This process is not a matter of subjective whim but an adherence to the work's inherent temporal structure. Ultimately, the author concludes that the artwork as an event holds profound anthropological significance: it is not only the site where the work becomes itself, but primarily an event through which humans transcend their own closure and, by interacting with art, realize their own humanity.
