MELCHIOR VISCHER - SEKUNDE DURCH HIRN
PRO UND EPILOG
DER ROMAN
A fever‑dream of a city unfurls in this kinetic novel, where the scaffolding of a construction site becomes a theater for Jörg Schuh’s manic observations. He watches the world from dizzying heights, describing a sky‑splashed bus‑stop, a voluptuous figure on a distant tower, and strangers who turn into riddles of colour and sound. The prose spins with the speed of a rotating second, pulling the listener into a landscape that feels both hyper‑real and unmistakably absurd.
Amid the wild imagery, the book probes questions about art, perception, and the thin line between truth and nonsense. Nietzsche‑flavored quips clash with slapstick banter, while philosophical asides swirl like ultraviolet geometry around the everyday chaos. The result is a playful, unsettling carnival that invites the audience to laugh, squint, and wonder at the shape of modern consciousness.

1895–1975
A Prague-born writer and director tied to the Dada movement, he brought sharp energy and experimentation to German-language literature after World War I. His best-known work, Sekunde durch Hirn, helped make him a memorable if unconventional voice of the early avant-garde.
