Take Staudingerstraße to Langackerwerg. Weiter rechts gehen. Follow the river to the house that witchcraft built. Meander it’s deco halls, it’s swaths of Technicolor. Count the footsteps in the night, past the hall of maggots, the Olympic swimming pool, the den of razor wire. Past the long mirrored rehearsal studios, the maid’s quarters. Peel back the curtain and breathe in the decay that is death transforming itself to life. The sleep apnea of the witch.
Fairy Tale
Sweet Movie
Nazis exhume secret soldier corpses in the Kharkiv forest. Gretel’s witch turns gingerbread into boat and floats down the Amstel seducing little boys. There’s a joke about how Americans can’t tell Marx from Lenin. There’s a lot of fucking & shitting, some stabbing. Sweet Movie is really gross and acrid and fun. Here’s an essay by Lorraine Mortimer.
