_GERMAN ORIGINAL:

>FRANZ KAFKA – WUNSCH, INDIANER ZU WERDEN (1913)

_Wenn man doch ein Indianer wäre, gleich bereit, und auf dem rennenden Pferde, schief in der Luft, immer wieder kurz erzitterte über dem zitternden Boden, bis man die Sporen ließ, denn es gab keine Sporen, bis man die Zügel wegwarf, denn es gab keine Zügel, und kaum das Land vor sich als glattgemähte Heide sah, schon ohne Pferdehals und Pferdekopf.

“shipping” is – after “wrapping” – the 2nd film accompanying the Church photo series. while the photo series deals with rural churches, it’s architecture and placement in the landscape, the films deal with christian faith in the United States. they represent a random, subjective view on how faith is lived and perceived, rather than trying to give an accurate overview on anything called Christian religious practice in America
