A poetic
catalyst
for action, Breathing Still 2020
reflects on our dark times through stills, found
footage and revolutionary song. Daniels' voiced
flaneuse roams Berlin streets, memorials and
demonstrations, contemplating the rise of
nationalism past and present.
Jill`s Film ist ein poetischer Kataylsator für
Aktion. Breathing Still 2020 reflektiert unsere
dunklen Zeiten durch Filmstills, found footage und
fast schon vergessene revolutionäre Lieder. Eine
Stimme
durchstreift Berlins Straßen, Denkmäler und
Demonstrationen und erinnert an den Mord an Rosa
Luxemburg vor 100 Jahren.
Hannah Arendt:
We were told to forget;
and we forgot quicker than anyone could imagine;
After so much bad luck we want a course as sure as a gun

My view:
As a
socialist-feminist artist I support Rosa's ideas
that see the end of capitalism as a goal and
assesses the tactics at any given moment to get to
the goal. In the era of Covid –19, when we are all
locked down, technology becomes super important in
creating links and relationships for action when the
virus is defeated. The capitalist economy will then
be in worse recession than the 1930s and history
tells us that the danger of extreme nationalism and
fascism will strengthen. The development of
grass-roots organisations for action are important.
I support the creation of Soviets (grass-roots
councils); power belongs to them; leaders at all
levels may be removed. This is why groups like Omas
gegen Rechts in Germany and elsewhere are crucial.
