FRAGILE - 2009

Behind the dried leaves, fallen logs, broken light back running, hiding, escape. Far from the dam, off the pack. I encounter in the quiet of my den, with no drafts, no irregular footprints dislocated. From bare walls, floor and ceiling. In the middle now. In the center of the great hall, faint, strong, out of time. Only this area of contention that music retains built and shy presence of my body that designs subtle elegance. I play to be another and also play to invent an image, to shake and freeze myself. Fast, slow, up, on the ground. Bouncing. Amplifying. I take this place as mine, I invade it, my first essence. Here I’m not looking for anything, here I have no questions, no doubts or fears. Here in the great hall, without beginning or end, far from possible. This is my possible the rest of my steps, details, the nakedness of the small, the detachment from the rush. Just image, a vision that unfolds, shrinking, which is diluted in that sound, not to alter my breathing, to obey my impulses. In my den. In my non-place. I feel fragile and invincible.

I should have been a cosy evening. Benjamin cooks himself his favorite dish: Borschtsch. But he cannot enjoy the meal because he only has to think about his old gas hearth. Did he switch it off or not? To absolutely sure, he takes a Polaroid before he leaves the appartment...

A woman, her body, and the destructive voice that controls her. The story is about individual power in the wrong hands. INA needs to get her power back from JOY who has taken it. This intense and raw confrontation is shot in 35mm, entirely in black and white, with both players naked. The nudity is non-erotic and allows the audience to experience the characters’ extreme circumstances of primitive vulnerability.

Max has been blind his entire life. He adjusted to not being able to see, if it wasn't for the desperate desire to once see the face of Lily, the love of his life – even if it is just for the blink of an eye. After undergoing a new, ground-breaking kind of surgery he is given a pill which 24 hours after intake is supposed to trigger his ability to see – one time only and with the effect merely lasting up to 90 seconds. Enough to fulfill his everlasting yearning he thinks as he and Lily leave for a trip to someplace beautiful to enjoy the precious moment – maybe to Panama, as a classic german childrens book playfully suggests. But disaster strikes when Max tries to please a human need inside a sleazy toilet in a rest area: Acting on impulse he takes the medication, when surprisingly the effect sets in instantly. Overjoyed he storms out to Lily – or at least he tries: The door is stuck. A desperate struggle begins inside and outside the toilet as well as inside Max' character: overwhelmingly celebrating the miracle he is experiencing, seeing himself in the mirror for the first time ever, but on the other hand being trapped inside a shabby toilet aside the expressway. As help is finally on its way, Max' vision begins to fade. His dream is coming to an end. Will it be fulfilled or denied?
