..it should be Nazi Austria. Knowing I'll make myself loads of friends by saying this. :) After all, Hitler was an Austrian. He couldn't have been born in any other country on the planet, the way he was, and what he grew up to be.
I am researching into the 1947 anti-reenactment laws, looking up Swastikas and the infamous 'Heil'-Greeting.
Why?
I do not want to have to pay a fine for re-enaction, or the like. I am going to use them in my video (in a slightly distorted way), fittingly directed by a black man, and basically everything I did for this one single has been co-worked together with people who would have been first in the concentration camp (inclusive me, by the way..): other races, declared leftists and free thinkers, intersex people.. and so on.
:D I find that..hilarious, in a way.. knowing that my grandfather, the worst kind of Nazi (whom I always HATED), would turn in his grave.
But that is not the main reason..also not this interview with Gottfried Helnwein, whom I greatly respect. Nina 'hates' him. ;D He insulted her then girlfriend..long time ago. I think he gets him wrong, nevermind the girl. Helnwein IS good, in what he does. :) Also, he is a friend of MM, who has used distorted gestures and symbols a long time ago. I always had a slight problem with that..though understood his intentions.. I use mine for an entirely different cause.
The song features "history repeating" as a slogan, and my Simone de Beauvoir (hope no French person sees this ://..as I like the French, and do not want to insult anybody) actually wears a Hitler beard, and makes a distorted hand gesture along to the music. The fact that she ALSO wears the austrian flag like a shawl..that might be a problem. There ARE a couple of visual comments on how women are being treated here in the video..and how close Nazi ideas still are in this country. See the young head of the right-wing party turn from ogre to humanist in their PR within a couple of months..and people like that! (question: HOW DUMB are you, people?!?)
Also, I would like to copy this bc it is GENIUS...
..how about Joan of Arc on that Swastika cross?
..but then I might get into trouble for CR reasons. ;D...hell, it is difficult. seriously.
Though a Nazi reference, not making fun of it, but ridiculing this kind of distorted thinking, is a MUST..having soaked up all the trauma of this country for so long..being an empath. I like Hellnwein. Sorry, Nina. I love you, too. ;)
the best quote from the interview..which also shows me that I am a real visionary, bc I foresaw Lady Gaga in a way, I feel and felt so much trauma round me others were closing their eyes to, and had myriads of other biz ideas (social and creative) that are now flourishing, or being put into practise...:
"Ich glaube, dass Kunst visionär sein kann. Dass Künstler manchmal Dinge wahrnehmen, die andere nicht sehen können. Relevante Kunst ist der Gesellschaft immer voraus. Viele Leute haben mich damals als geisteskrank bezeichnet. Aber interessant ist, dass genau zu der Zeit, als ich die verwundeten Kinder gemalt habe, in Österreichs Heimen Kinder missbraucht, geschlagen und umgebracht wurden. Ich hab zwar auch nichts von den Vorgängen gewusst, aber irgendwie gespürt."
(rough translation):
"I think art can be visionary. That artists, at times, tend to notice things others cannot perceive. Relevant art is always ahead of society. a lot of people called me mentally insane back then. The interesting thing is, though (I used "interesting a lot, too..which my father called insane..too analytical, not emotional enough), that just as I painted pictures of children being hurt, there were children being abused, battered, and killed in Austrian nursery homes. I was not aware of those occurrances, but I felt it somehow." (THUMBS UP!!!)
I love the man. The whole interview is a pleasure..he says women's self-defence courses should be held in every school, as a routine, to prepare women for self-defense in a case of emergency. He is SO right.
He also said that here, in Austria, noone really dares to say as it is..Well, I DO. That is why I get into so much trouble, and all the time. I FEEL it, too. I cannot avoid it- even if I really wanted to. ;)
Maybe the times are right for it right now. :) Let's see. I will have to discuss the video with some friends, and a lawyer beforehand.
