"Tomma händer-Tomma händer-
Empty hands"
Jörgen Erkius | Nordic Residency December 2008 to February 2009
The film "Tomma händer"is based on a poem from the Finnish poet and playwriter Josef Julius Wecksell 1838-1907, namely the second of three fragments. That represents an (too?) early vision on later modernistic litteratur. It´s written during the time of his mental-breakdown. Probably in the year 1862 at the age of 23.
"Tomma händer
Mörka stränder
Sorgsen våg och tyst
Varifrån komma
Ord som blomma
Döden allt ju kysst"
