Über die Veranstaltung
Inspired by a series of 378 variations on a well-known Dante portrait in Markus Vallazza's sketchbooks on Divina Commedia, Erika Wimmer Mazohl creates a dense panorama of the individual and human in 88 poems. In playful reference to Vallazza's “psychograms” or “head births” and the characteristics with which he named them, the thematic references of these sometimes funny and sometimes harrowing texts range from intimate love affairs to trips to other places, to other times and other locations on earth or in the universe. A stimulating, multi-layered reading pleasure, because no person and no poem has only one face.
