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 a zoom lens

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
