WHILE YOU WERE DEAD IN ZDUNSKA WOLA, 1941-2012-1

  • 12 years ago
On 15/9/2012 at noon, randomly zapping trough the channels, I filmed with my camera actual events screened on my TV and assembled them in my video clip "While you were dead in Zdunska Wola", 1941-2012...

Using "Zdunska Wola", the Polish city of my dead Jewish family, ww2, as the video's codename not exactly correlated with the accompanying audio track performed by the Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert - reading his poem Przesłanie Pana Cogito (The Envoy of Mr Cogito), were Herbert's voice plays the role of the musical track remembering me the polish musical intonation of my parents voices (and my dead grandparents in Zdunska Wola 1941). Herbert's impressing voice is underlined by the "Kinderjohren yiddish song from Cracow".
