Interpretation and reflection of the poem Night, Street, Lantern, Pharmacy by the Russian poet Aleksandr Blok . It was written in October 1912 and it is one of my favourite poems by Blok. The video is as well a experiment for to combine two different ways and styles of interpretation into one film. With urban scenery of St. Petersburg at night and the metaphoric and abstract interpretation of the poem by the theatre group STAGE DFT (St. Petersburg, Russia). At the same time it´s a homage to St. Petersburg. The idea for a visual interpretation I got during a streetcar ride through St. Petersburg late at night.
Aleksander Blok (Александр Блок) (1880-1921) was the foremost of the Russian Symbolists, who changed the face of Russian letters from the late 1890s through until the Russian Revolution, leading Russian literature into a ‘Silver Age’ after the great works of the previous century. Even the poem is very short it is not easy to translate into another language. There are various English translation which differ quite a lot from each other . So I tried to make a visual interpretation of it.
Night, street, lantern, pharmacy, a meaningless and dull light Even if you live another quarter of a century All will remain the same. There is no exit. You´ll die – then you´ll begin all over again Night, the canal´s rippled icy surface pharmacy, street, lantern
