Poem without us

The animated film ‘Gedicht ohne uns’, based on the poem of the same name by Clemens Schittko, is a meditation on the relationship between nature and culture; on naming, systematising and mapping landscape; a gentle look at a world devoid mankind and a linguistic-magical evocation of the river Spree with its tributaries and side arms. The film images are hand-painted with egg tempera.
