Horsthausen
Germany / Fiction / 00:01:39 min
A visual poem filmed in a party cellar in Horsthausen. Past words whisper by The images on the gray paths borrowed from the dead carry them around The dizziness grips and pulls down every fiber, no matter how tightly intertwined Powers of the deaf senses be praised you surround me with your bitter cold pain Only silhouettes glow in the darkness and burn scars into the ceiling under our feet Until they fall and burn and no one can ever find them, no one can ever look for them. The whites of our eyes fade to gray With arms outstretched, mouths agape, no one tears at those bodies anymore And the nothingness it wanders somewhere else Vergangene Worte flüstern sich vorbei Die Bilder auf den grauen Wegen von den Toten erliehen tragen sie umher Der Schwindel greift und zerrt jede noch so fest verwachsene Faser zu sich nieder Mächte der tauben Sinne seid gepriesen umart ihr mich ja doch mit euren bitter kalten Schmerze Nur Schattenbilder leuchten in der Dunkelheit und brennen Narben in die Decke unter unseren Füßen Bis jene fallen und verglühen und niemand sie jeh finden kann, niemand sie jeh suchen kann Das Weiß der Augen verstummt in grau Mit ausgestreckten Arme, aufgerissen Mund reißt niemand mehr an jenen Körpern und das Nichts es wandert woanders umher
