Fiasko-Fragmente Nach dem Roman von Imre Kertsz

Fiasco is a photofilm (consists of photographs that are related to the novela’s text and the sound. Photographs placed in a cinematic context create a film-like experience, they let us ‘think’ cinema and offer interspaces).Steinig, whose story is told, did survive his own death. Stranded at an unfamiliar nameless airport of a big though strangely familiar city, he is looking for a way to ensure his survival in a system which condemns everyone who has not yet lost faith in individuality and freedom. He has come home after Auschwitz. The story is about his new beginning in Stalinist Budapest. òFiascoó explores the search for identity and the multiplication of one’s personality under the repression of totalitarianism. In addition, the film deals with the perception of time.
