The Ballad of Newhaven High Street

on a bridge, eastward

flying in a dream, aloft, a suspension bridge, 
floating summer grey enfolds the shore
the evening delicately hangs above the anchorage
no definition, destination, no after and before

things that have no start, an arcing line, no end
blanketing rain, the coming night, downy air
a complex secret joy, the heart, my heart, the blend
of pleasure, terror, deep comfort, and despair 

you, on my shoulder then you’d fallen asleep
and when I rose from our bed, you had made
the imprint of your ear, pink, skin deep,
on my skin, I watched it fade
 
almost like flying, effortless flying in a dream
I feel both the wound and the soothing bandage
the pillar’s pier, the uninterrupted stream
submerged, aloft, a suspension bridge

on a bridge, eastward

YARD
00.14.00
Stereophonic
One Channel Video
2018

How to deal with the so-called „myth“ forrest as an urban person?
What`s ones experiences with it, how to reshape and how to use it in order to fullfill ones most basic desires?

YARD is a semi-documentary video work, consisting of multiple squences, which are the result of a 10-days- stay in a forrest around Waakirchen/ Germany during the „Almresidency“-project and reflects the personal experiences of the artist.

A number of installative fence-structures basically transform forrest glades, mountain pastures, a small stream and other woodland spaces into stages, on which accoustic narratives arise.

Therefor the process of fencing in/ off/ round represents an essential mechanism to become capable of defying boarders, to sound an areal and finally to identify oneself with a strange environment.

Headphones highly recommended!
Watch your volume!

"Birmingham" (Lyrics)
Oh my God.
They called no less than six times while my phone was off.
I saw your knees go weak while you were already lost in Birmingham.
And you could barely speak, your heart was so far in your throat and,
I could not cry ‘cause we were never very close.
I cursed my eyes for being calloused and composed.

Scarce a word was spoken while we drove our car to Birmingham
For greetings shared with broken hearts and faces buried in their hands.
I could not cry ‘cause we were never very close.
I cursed my eyes for being calloused and composed.

Standing in a nervous circle ‘round the bed we tried to
Hold back while you raised her hand to feel the life inside you.
And then I cried ‘cause we were never very close,
And cursed my eyes while she was lying comatose.

I cursed myself for waiting ‘til it came down to this moment,
And I cried my eyes out driving home from Birmingham.

Introspecter (Part 1)

Birmingham

on the road, in the dark

hidden, the hidden presence of the world, 
at the lightest touch, in the nearly dark,
with a rustle and a patter it becomes unfurled
and furls in tiny almost silence 
quiet, passing out of sight, not a faintest mark

don’t hold your breath, embark
on the road in the dark 

planets, there are planets, no light of their own, 
gliding the ecliptic plane, doing nothing at all, 
remote, self-contained, painlessly alone
tick tick tick the turning worlds
only are, they only are, in the dark, the unfolded thrill of my silent heart’s thrall

I want to, before I fall
embrace it all

shapeshifters, there are no shapeshifters in the gloom
out here you can only be what you are
elemental matter, radiation, vacuum
I tell myself the story of myself
and the rest is astronomy, mineral reality, this travelling car

don’t hold back, we will go far
on the road in the dark

aligned, Jupiter and Venus, aligned, descending
I whisper the names, the moon’s an open O
the turn upon turn of a key, turn and turn unending
that unlocks and opens nothing
but the lock of opening, the slide and turn and click as we go

I look to the fading glow
to go beyond what I think I know

on the road, in the dark

on a cliff, in fog

the morning coffee that I drank
last night’s kiss upon my nape
the soap my hands still smell of
the cliff, the fog, the seascape
the tides eroding the headland’s flank

the borrowed clothes, the sleep, the food,
the shopping lists, the washing up
don’t add up to a living whole
a long-ago drop broke the coffee cup
I use, reassembled, glued

this morning’s images, details
fractured, blurring and the waves
running in, organic waves of longing
for these things that I would save
the mist rolls on, the horizon fades

I am not a complete man
and together we don’t converge
you cannot hold a cloud of fog
our unfinished wills still fail to merge
I try to not break what I can

I don’t know really why I would
save for the hapless sense that I belong
that together though, we‘ll neither save
nor even try to prolong
though I’d thought there was a common good

this autumn’s images, details
fractured, blurring and the waves
running out, organic waves of longing
for the life that I would save
the mist rolls in, the horizon fails

the sedimentary rock where I sit
the gull that flaps on by
september fog, atlantic swell
I don’t think I can answer why  
the layered details knit, unknit

on a cliff, in fog
