Weltschmerz – a short film

A free artistic work about the term “Weltschmerz”. The video has no linear story but is supposed to create the feeling and emotions of weltschmerz to the viewer. To visualize the contrast of weltschmerz, there are parts with steady movements and parts with abstract elements, that should visualize the thoughts. For auditory support, the music is composed with harmonic chords and screaming vocals – written and performed by me. The video is wrapped by scenes of handwriting. The lines are extracted and altered from diary entries of Caspar David Friedrich.
