ABC
ABC is a journey through 25 years of film work, a visual alphabet, so to speak. A depicts Ludwig Wüst’s first trip to Egypt, where his desire to become a filmmaker was born when these unplanned shots were taken. B deals with the central topic of Wüst’s life: friendship. C is a poetic condensation on the question of our existence. ABC is three films that now come into the world.

“About three years ago, during the first Covid lockdown, I began to sift through film fragments in my archive that had been lying there for many years, awaiting an upcoming exploitation. In the process, I came across my very first video works, made in 1999 in Cairo and the Egyptian desert in preparation for my debut film Ägyptische Finsternis. Now the desire arose to use these recordings for a new, as yet untitled work. A second unreleased film fragment, very important to me personally, with the working title CAIN & ABEL was made with friends in the summer of 2018 in a quarry near Gießhübl and has since been waiting to be realized as a feature-length film. In the summer of 2021, I began to work with analog film. I took a Super8 camera and went to Bavaria, to my hometown. During those summer days, I made my first analog recordings, a very important moment for me. These analog Super8 images will remain.”
