Wunsch zwei(2) is not about nightmares or fear, it’s about love. It’s is a tool to materialize oneself into the physical world. It’s wunschmaschinen. This short film was shot in a video-diary style between summer 2022 - fall 2024, being revamped with every other screening, exploring themes of identity, faith and mass alienation. It’s about diaspora, trans-girlhood and longing. It's about faith. It’s sort of an artistic take on what is more commonly known as “shitposting”. It’s about trivial posting of affirmations, conspiracies and jargon to conjure something into the screen and through it into reality, aiming to reproduce the shitpost phenomena in video form.
wunsch drei (3) is about the quiet alchemy of repetition. folding laundry, staring at the ceiling, seeing the same 3 people every single day.. smoking a cigarette in the same spot at the same time. it’s about submitting and worshipping chewy rubbery summer days, transmuting, spilling out and becoming one, going inward until you come out the other side. the film adopts an online mode of creation, drawing from the rhythms and logic of digital life. it assembles a collage of footage where meaning emerges not from linear narrative but from the friction and resonance between fragments. these relations could only arise within an internet-native experience, precisely in relation to making sense of the offline “irl” world. wunsch drei (3) is an internet coming of age in the 21st century.
"Accidental Stranger" is the final entry in Mic Inc's 'Heartbreak Trilogy'.
