The Sparks of Semantics
The theory of design as a method of conception

For a period of two semesters a seminar worked on a congenial enquiry and reprocessing of both research and teaching of Prof.
Dr. phil. Dieter Fuder (1947-2011). The aim was to clarify the metareflexive view of his teaching.
The dialogue of text and picture follows a logic which refers to
the second view and invites to discourses. The photographs serve
as catalysts for broader images. »visualize what makes you think« Dieter Fuder defined the sparks of semantics, the imaginary significant, as a blank in the image thus challenging the obser-
ver's process of reflection transcending the mere transmission
of information.
