Part 1: 'The dark side of a counselor's life'


The story about the Austrian state counselor (in German 'Hofrat') is purely fictional and inspired by a dream by the series' author Karin Sawetz.  

 The state counselor is a nice civil servant. He is polite, correct and never had any issues with the law. For sure not! The Hofrat is police jurist and stands for the law and for correctness. His suit attracts no attention by anyone who has sense for style; his whole appearance is uninteresting. The only thing that makes him interesting is his position at the state where people have to pay attention - if they want or not. 

 Probably this situation - the forced friendliness of people who are working for him, police men and police women, the servility of the ones who were impeached and had to get in contact in the one or other way with him, in combination with the defiance against the person he really is without the job, turned his psyche into a conflict which found for its manifestation a sexual venue where the Viennese Hofrat can live his darkest dreams.

 As far as he kept his dreams out of his job, the Hofrat hadn't taken the criminal path. One day in the morning he woke up with a new strategy in mind to contact persons he is interested in. He doesn't like criminals but rarely gets the chance to meet others; he thinks loudly  "Why not producing assumptions for impeaching people I want to get in contact with in the one or other way so that I play a role in their life?"

"We waited so long for a sign of intelligent life in outer space and have overseen that the Illumis have been already living among us on earth. " Demian walks through the spaceship. It's a newer model with self adjusting rooms and corridors where the nine members of the research team have lived since they left earth six months ago. The video communicator-drone follows him and creates a film-like live stream with various close ups of Demian with changing focus on the face, his wild hair,  beard, or his fine slender but strong hands. The drone program edits the stream in thriller-mode selected by Demian to match the visual dramaturgy of the live video better with the occasion. The drone program cuts the video and includes scenes showing the ship inside in changing wide angle perspectives, recordings captured by the outer space cameras, and pictures of the Illumis such as the entities are cal

New series 'Dog Tales' inspired by Biennale Arte Venezia

Image
By  Fashionoffice 's publisher Karin Sawetz During the last two decades, Fashionoffice has reported from time to time from the Biennale Arte Venezia. This year, the theme is 'Viva Arte Viva' and I try out another approach to the art experience. I pack it into a short series with the title 'Dog Tales'. Many of the associations are collected in the tradition of automatic writing where the subconsciousness, memories of dreams where situations that really happened are reworked - from solving to new-interpreting -  in a surrealistic way and hard facts of the currently running Biennale Venezia are mixed. 'Viva Arte Viva' is the motto of Biennale Arte Venezia 2017 and the supporting idea behind the new series 'Dog Tales'. fig.: Why is it entitled 'Dog Tales'? Because my currently most favorite skirt is made of a fabric with the print of a prominent painting by Hondecoeter . The name sounds in German like 'dog cur'. The decision to c

  Almost one year has passed since Naomi invited her daughter Joyce and granddaughter Sarah to her home and farm, where she plants innovative new garden fruits at the high-tech glasshouse. The architecture of the Grand Palais-like building cites late 19th, early 20th century Viennese Modernism and the style of Otto Wagner. Three generations of women who are living in the time now as contemporaries but witness the presence from different life angles due experiences collected under politically and socially constantly changing circumstances.  The Christmas surprise of one of the last meetings, the snowball AI had become already part of Joyce's life journey before the mid-40 years old even knew that there exists an especially for her from the friends of her mother developed artificial intelligence program.  The AI - called after its first appearance 'Snowball' - was enabled by Joyce for Sarah and Naomi as a practical family communication tool which takes part of the conversat
