And intimate and also daring confrontation with a text by the Austrian author Konrad Bayer.
He saw that suicide (presumably) was the ultimate consequence of his logic of contradiction.
A fragment of literature that is almost aloof; no embellishments, no justifications, but yet, the fight against resignation over the big lie called survival fiercly is taken up again and again. This conflict lives in the virtuosity and metamorphosis of the actor Adolfo Assor. His roles — oscillating between insanity and irony, glee- fullness and despair — are mirrored in an artificial imagery. In their absurd beauty the pictures extrapolate the clarity of the text in all its contradictions. The con- trapunctual montage, with seif- critique and irony, leads beyond the text. Work and reflecting on meaning: a "contradictio in se?" - live seen as a conflict between contradiction and resistance - to keep the balance means to survive. Of course, there are no solutions - only one example ( a good one?).
