Ralf´s Colors

"We can´t use the same light, we have to use completely new keys with completely new light and even these can be found to a limited extent," says Ralf at one point. The schizophrenic man´s words accompany much of this experimental portrait by Lukas Marxt, layered over footage of Lanzarote, where the protagonist lives in seclusion. Landscape and cinema form an amalgam here, being both interior spaces of thought and feeling, and projected images of an outside. The thinking of the film´s main character does not run along straight lines, moving instead in circles, spirals, and Möbius strips, shaping the overall structure of the film.
