der wackelatlas – sammeln und jagen mit H. C. Artmann

“I don't want to paint a picture of life,” says H. C. Artmann at one point in this film, which his daughter Emily Artmann and his niece Katharina Copony shot in his apartment in Vienna in the fall of 2000. A few weeks before his death, we can listen to the great poet and writer in this deeply empathetic final portrait as he reflects on art and his understanding of literary work in a small, sparsely furnished room. “At the beginning of writing there is absolute silence.”
