“Brother, I’m not depressed and haven’t lost spirit. Life everywhere is life, life is in ourselves and not in the external. There will be people near me, and to be a human being among human beings, and remain one forever, no matter what misfortunes befall, not to become depressed, and not to falter—this is what life is, herein lies its task. I have come to recognize this. This idea has entered into my flesh and blood.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, in a letter to his brother detailing his experience of nearly getting executed

“Yesterday and the day before I have been working on the manuscript of Atemwende. It is truly the most dense work I have written so far, also the most encompassing. … I finally divided the manuscript into cycles—it needed to be aerated—of unequal lengths, but ‘in sich geschlossen’ (self-contained) as they say in German. At the end, separated by an empty page, single poem and cycle simultaneously, the EINMAL.”
Paul Celan, from a letter to Giselle Celan-Lestrange
“The rich mother dreams of a world that is bright and very fresh, but she’s actually trapped in this glass box that she’s made for herself. She’s obsessed with her young son, but she never hugs him. There’s no physical intimacy between them, regardless of how much she adores him. That tension and fear was what I wanted to show in the movie, and now, even further, in these pictures.”
