Anja Huwe – Codes

Description

Initially inspired by the diary entries of Moshe Shnitzki, who, at the age of 17, left his home in 1942 to live in the cavernous White Russian forests as a partisan, ‘Codes’ is about the human experience and what extremes can do to an individual. ‘The result is a poetic, musical cosmos that encompasses the following themes: forest, fear, pain, loss, violence, and loneliness but also beauty, longing, hope and the will to survive,’ Huwe explains. These thematic extremities cause an erraticism to ‘Codes’ – a passing thunderstorm, a cyclonic burst of nature’s force – but one that exudes anticipation amidst the chill.
