a paraphrase of the title of the famous engraving albrecht dürer`s "melencoliæ I", which is also a paraphrase of the old greek word "μελαγχολία" (=melancholy)...
an interpretation of the artist`s melancholic situation - the melancholy of being an artist...
the scene was shot in a passage of the city of prague -very close to one of w. a. mozart`s prague residencies- and (like dürer`s work) it can be interpreted as an allegorical composition,
a "spiritual self portrait"...
the shot is taken (like always without purpose or plan) on february 20, 2006 with a normal digital video apparatus
without tripod
without camera moves
without zooming
without special lighting
without extra microphone
without effects
the sound and the length of the shooting are the original
there is no cuts between the scene
