Stable Bodies, Unstable Cities Ear and Eye Texty

Stable Bodies, Unstable Cities

Visionary landscape is where geography is transformed into event.

I could tell you about the film.

The ruins around us, in our own landscapes. Visionary space cannot be situated, it is itself, situative. Reality falls into place around what perceives it. All geographies correspond to this subjectivity

They pulsate, flicker.

The totems are mute historians, the symbols function as the signposts to hidden geographies, and the ruins are sacred

In a space of no geographical fact, within I find a landscape of events, where the sky is a mirror that my soul is projected upon, and the space between things is imagination itself.

Jets gracefully move from one corner of the frame to the next.

Enter a plane where symbols have a life of their own, and perhaps we transcend, temporarily and incompletely the limitations of time.

Decoding space of desire, the silence was so moving and the images………..

The magic alphabet, the mysterious hieroglyphic comes to us incomplete and falsified either by time or by those very beings whose interest it is to keep us ignorant. Let us retrieve the lost letter or the obliterated sign,

The films of Ludwig Schonherr
