Streaming Past, Present Moments
Thoughts and memories flow through our heads like water. You concentrate on one thing, while you are conscious of a periphery of possibilities. Just like in music, where it is possible to hear things on several layers at once and yet to focus your attention on one layer or one detail. In film, things quickly become unclear once several layers are on top of one another. Inspired by the art of Paul Klee, in this film, Scheffer pursues his quest for the filmic possibilities that can bring him closer to the freedom of music.
