l'heure acoustique/the acoustic hour

two promotional videos in one for ngazzokah which organises musical events in the delft-area in the netherlands. one of them is a montly sunday gathering of performers in the rietveld-theatre in delft. the images are mainly reworked photos by french photographer fred forestier. both videos use splitscreen: one half shows the images and the other presents texts. the first video presents random choosen paragraphs from goethes 'hermann und dorothea'. the second video shows images of lessing's 'fabeln'. a skilled eye could read the words, but the images are mainly used as illustration. the music comes from a performance at the rietveld-theatre earlier this year.
