Spell on! is a dialogue between drawing and text, between poems and translations. The themes drawn are from Norwegian fjords and European subways. There are two languages and two kinds of handwriting. Spell on! is a dialogue between the feminine and the masculine, between the city and the body, between Norway and Berlin. A motorbike, symbol of excursion, is contrasted with pictures of hens, which are encased. These contrasts are bound to a melody: I put a spell on you.

Stappa dynge

Hårreisende buktninger
opprørende inn og ut –
skinnende, ei sjuske
brauter med bronse.
            Med truse på,
            ville det ikke gå.

 

det begynte som et fotballspill
begge stod i mål
hvorfor forsvare kampen
vi tok av oss draktene
ballen var oss

Brechende Gülle

Hanebüchen der Bausch,
heterogen der Bogen –
Schlunze, die Lunze,
brüstet die Brunze.
            Aber Schlupf muß sein,
            sonst paßt er nich’ rein.

 

es fing an wie ein fußballkampf
beide standen im tor
warum den kampf verteidigen
wir zogen die trikots aus
der ball waren wir
