Parfait d'amour

If the hands had eyes during the act of love, if the whole body could see. This is what the video simulates.

The trick editing was done on high-tape with a special effects generator. The story is told by a sailor whose sea wife always wants to hear the story again, when she is in his arms.

Of course this is only a fairy tale.

Die Insel

We distinguish between continental islands, which are usually parts of the mainland that were detached through tectonic movement, or deposits formed by alluvial soil, and oceanic islands, which are coral-reefs or of volcanic origin.

Fa(h)r weit

Our breathing is one of the kinds of motion nearest to us. If we hold our breath, even if only for a short moment, the horizon begins to waver. We lose the only Dearings we had, and nothing remains but motion. The image turns into a picture; the cause of our seasickness disappears.

Satourne

Attempting to travel at the speed of light, I fixed one eye on the horizon and cast the other eye towards the sky. Slowly slowly I began slowly I began slowly I began slowly ... round and round ...
