Symbolismen var den fremherskende strømning i dansk kunst omkring 1900. Hos de kunstnere, der blev del af bruddet med naturalismen i 1890’erne, oplevede man en fornyet dyrkelse af tegnekunsten, og den formmæssige præcision i tidens billeder var påfaldende. Men hvad var hensigten med denne optagethed af veldefinerede plastiske og todimensionale former, detaljer og dekorative helhedsvirkninger? ”Hieroglyffer” søger svaret i periodens litteratur og hos kunstnere som bl.a. Vilhelm Hammershøi, L.A. Ring, J.F. Willumsen, Johannes Holbek og Jens Lund.
