THE BUNKER – Tenderness with “B”

The writer and performer Johannes Schrettle (“zweite liga für kunst und kultur”) sent me this text (English below):

Zärtlichkeit mit B
ein bunker, wo menschen versammelt sind, die nie mehr rauskommen. es schaut ein bisschen aus nach einem französischen film, ein paar obszöne details sind ständig im blickfeld. dann taucht auf einmal unter einer bettdecke ein kollektiv auf:
HEY! ICH HABE IN DEN 80ern SCHON MAL DARAN GEDACHT EINEN BAUM ZU PFLANZEN. HEUTE HABE ICH EIN UNTERNEHMEN. DER BUNKER IST MEINE ZIELGRUPPE MEIN PUBLIKUM UND MEINE GROSSE LIEBE. IRGENDWANN WERDE ICH WIEDER AUFTAUCHEN ABER DANN ALS ZÄRTLICHES MONSTER. IN DER KOMBÜSE. AM JAKOMINIPLATZ. IM BRUNNEN. AM ZENTRALFRIEDHOF. EIN PAAR SCHRÄGE SOUNDS.

Tenderness with B
A bunker, where people are gathered, who never will get out again. It looks a bit like in a french movie, all the time there are some obscene details in the field of vision. Suddenly a collective emerges from under a bedspread:
“Hey! I have thought about planting a tree already in the 1980s. Today I have a business company. The bunker is my target audience my public and my great love. Eventually I will emerge again but then as a tender beast. In the galley. At the Jakomini square. In the fountain. At the central cemetary.” A few crooked sounds.

The drawings were a contribution to the exhibition “LAND – urban in sicht” (COUNTRY – urban in sight) at “Die Mühle”, Schwarzau im Schwarzautal, September 2012.

RESTUPIDO

Two pages for the Novo Doba Festival Catalogue 2011.
The story is partly stolen from an eight-year-old boy, whose name I have forgotten and cannot find out anymore. He participated at a workshop I did in Fehring, in the Southeast of Styria, Austria. Characters and the story were basically invented by him. My interpretation of the story is dedicated to this little philosopher …
