I love the idea of it, and not sure again if I replied (long covid weirds
memory), as I mentioned, I'm very close to someone who's living near the
border w/ Lebanon, and I worry about him; I'm also dealing w/ long covid
which certainly leads to tears, etc. etc. Hard times and again apologies -
I understand the work, am amazed by the series, this one just hit me
weirdly - now by the way upset as well over the massive flooding in
Asheville, North Carolina - know people there, and taught a semester at
UNCA (U. N. C. Asheville) -

Image Festival 2024
dear Alan and Bj?rn:
I couldn't quite follow where you were going, Alan: "'no place and time for
crying" was not the point, I gathered,
the emotional side of war or violence or devastation, or someone's brief,
was never addressed, I take it,
nor the time one might need to mourn or to react.
What Bj?rn points out is an interest in the absurd. Yes, that call for a
one-second film is absurd, and possibly,
given the context in which we live, a complete waste of time and our
patience. As is the
other festival I read about - a biennale that does not take place.
>>
Open call
The biennale doesn't take place, with works that don't exist.
There is nothing special to do.
Do you want to participate?
>>
No thanks
But then again, who am I to complain about the theatre of the absurd.
regards,
Johannes Birringer

devastation, people beyond recovery, beyond crying as an

other words, one way or another 'shell shocked' - in which case
crying is
reduced to zero time... temporary or permanent destruction of
the self as
capable of healing...
