Erlangen Poet Fest 2006
Sunday August 27, 2006
This weekend, the Erlangen Poet Fest 2006 takes places, presenting rather uncommon poetry. As in 2005 I finally decided to attend some of the “lectures” together with my girlfriend. Gilbert got the idea to go the Mond0 multimedia lecture, which took place in the Erlangen Schlossgarten, which was furiosly illuminated. There where two recitators that presented some part of their long-term project “Mond0″ – a fictional journey to some moon. The plot was quite odd: One guy got to a moon journey, where a kind of hedonistic population is living. The authors presented in eloquent speech, how pluch-obelisks, neon-green feel-good-maedows and the pneumonics (a part of a walkable body) look like. In school I rather disliked stuff like this (Abstract poetry in general), but the way of presentation, especially the video wall showing abstract pictures of the region the recitators were talking about and a nice electronic background music of Sven Väth made this happening a rather nice experience for me.
