The objective of the work is to respond to the requirement of what beauty is in the 21st century. His hypothesis proposes, with a nod to the late Heidegger, to understand current beauty as a salvific and resplendent expression regarding the essence of modern technology. He does so—this would be his method—through a brief hermeneutic on what Heidegger mentioned at the end of The Question about Technique, when he pointed out, regarding the hidden destiny that we are called to discover in the face of the threat of the Gestell, that “in another time the τέχνη of fine arts was also called ποίησις . This call, as a result of the writing, we have glimpsed in the works of six contemporary artists, who testify precisely to this creative protection of truth in the work. In this way, and this would be its main conclusion, the works of art by Kepa Garraza, Gina Heyer, Kathrin Longhurst, Leah Giberson, Nusret Aktay and Scott Listfield seem to prefigure each other—the fruit of worlds and geniuses so identical, but so different. — the same utopian and salvific destiny.
