Winner of Kurzundschön 2013 KHM Partner Award
"Letter for Lucid" is an audiovisual poem, about the internal jolts of a young man, the Novemberist who is forced to go to war. Lucid, is his alter ego, his inner longing and his love of life. He writes his own conscience, his lucidity a farewell letter in orther to give his life to “the cause”.
The Novemberist, a split personality, can escape death indeed - but he is trapped crazy in real life.
The poem begins with the metaphor of Video Games - Game on - and ends just as disillusioning - Game over.

War photojournalism has always fascinated me for the passive role of the photographer who captures the horrors trough the distance of the lens.
