Beuys believed that every animal species has a collective soul or
consciousness. The other species possess many capabilities the man
has lost and is not aware of the loss. For example, many non human
species have a strong sense of orientation. He spoke with animals
taking them as the representatives of their species. He modulated
his voice in such a way that the formation of a thought would become
perceptible as a plastic process. He strived to show that the voice
can be an important transmitter of energies and an immediate substance
foe the conceptual plastics. He wished tan the man on the street starts
speaking; he should realize that the state controlled education system
has spoi;t a lot of capabilities in him.
