The article aims to discuss transgressive aspects of the work of art understood as a festival against the background of classical hermeneutics. The sacred and the profane domains evident in the festival emerge even as man enters that spiritual dimension of the world which is free from everyday limitations, and to which Gadamer aptly refers as the timeless now. The article proposes that it is precisely thanks to the work of art that man can gain an insight into the unremitting Heraclitean vicissitude of all things. The work of art, which crystallizes and perpetuates time, allows man to transcend change and to experience in creation an analogue of divine independence. Without festivity introduced by art, human existence would either be reduced to technical barbarity or would become routine, which, for Ricoeur, stands as the figure of damnation. The work of art is, therefore, not merely a work of art: it is the struggle for a truly human existence.
