WONDELL
My second Art Film "Wondell" is in progress now (completion ca. 2017; duration ca. 90 min.):
Four actors are to represent,in the style of tarot cards,the four elements: Air,Earth,Fire and Water;
moreover,they will embody four senses as well as the four times of the day and the four seasons.
A subjective-artistically camera added with sounds and changing cuts will guide the viewer to a surreal path of a Search For Meaning through the changing day times and various seasons in Düsseldorf.
Between April 2012 and February 2014,I intend to undergo film shoots at various different spots in Düsseldorf at:
Rhine Tower,the local MVA (Incineration Plant),Rhine-Garden,sewer network and sewage treatment plant South,a flock of sheep,the local brewery "Kürzer", Düsseldorf "Paradise" beach and other locations (to be determined as and when).
Participants:
Actors/Actresses: Marta Skegina,Tatjana Nikonorova,Peter Schramm.Rainer Schmidt
