( I have to change my life )
Kind of prologue (introduction 3):
I have to change my life – this is about
individual authority. The project will refer to some philosophers,
scientists,
artists and thinkers because in science and art it is about this permanent
unfolding and developing
of the justification of authority and individual
authorship.
The future looks bleak. The disagreement about how to keep the world just and habitable for all leads to completely new, absurd and opaque strategies. All the more it becomes important to act responsibly as an individual.
The Good Life and also the search for it, of course, is very complex and raises a multitude of considerations, which now, however, urgently require decisions. Because "my" life can no longer be considered as a purely private ecology.
The New Village project is therefore an experience based on the decision to buy a small, old house in a lonely and abondend area. Where no one wants to live anymore, where the villages are abandoned because the youngsters want - and have to flee into bigger cities. The project here documents the thoughts and experiences. It is about the pure joy of hearing only silence and the busy sound of vibrating insects. The joy of being able to look at the different shapes of sunsets, to be able smell the wind. But the project deals also with my fears of how this peace in the land will look like soon. Above all, I am concerned with these connections that make up my life, that make me helpless and sick, and not only me. My little comfort zone - too long it was too cosy. I have to get to it. It is the question of dispensability, essence and quality. It's a question of what do I need and from whom. What are things actually worth? And are they worth producing? Where do I stand and where do I want to go? And will I still be able to move freely?
