Child – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

I call this piece a video essay or video poem. In it, I ask questions about death and mortality. Why, I wonder, does it seem that life requires the presence of death? Why is that the most innocent among us, children, are sometimes taken from us? Is it, then, that the universe is without morality?

I have no real conclusions, but I do say that we all of us…or at least most of us…secretly or unconsciously believe that somehow, in some strange fashion, the individual survives death. This is probably false hope at its most insidious, but is it so bad a thing? That is, if it gives us comfort in a complex universe? I suggest that it isn’t really. And, in fact, I propose we might be wise to cultivate this particular myth, even if we don’t actually believe it.
