Inspired by Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi’s legendary movie \u003cem\u003eUgetsu Monogatari (Rain Moon Tales\u003c\/em\u003e, 1953), they intend to trigger a new, imaginary film in the mind of the viewer-reader. It is not a self-contained story they offer. Rather, artist and poet have created a subtle play with hints, fragments, comments, and further narratives. Some of Wittwer's images are illustrative, others refuse a direct reading. Likewise, Halter's short poems in some cases are unambiguous and simple, some are equivocal and elude immediate access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a poetic-painterly manner, the book explores questions such as “what is one's own in the foreign?”, “when does humanity turn into inhumanity?”, or “Is comfort to be found in art?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText in English and German.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227649429848,"sku":"9783039421329","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783039421329_9e37921a-e36b-413d-b2d6-3bbe9ccfc0a2.jpg?v=1779165054","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/deserted-boat-drifting-towards-the-moon","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
