These excerpts are taken from the soundtrack of a short film project based on the correspondence of Bettine von Arnim and Karoline Gunderode.

'Correspondence' deals with notions of invented space. Inspired by the fiction created around the two writers in 'No Place On Earth', by Christa Wolfe. Conversations, poetry, dairies, essays, and activity of the salons during the German Romantic period and the letters of Bettine and Karoline represent a channel through which ideas are able to permeate an otherwise predominantly male oriented literary and political circles.

These aspirations influence following generations and extend themselves into a literary space unconfined by geographical, physical boundaries. To translate this for the film, the emphasis was on working with scenes which are non-descript in their location.

The sound and narration in this piece explores the exchange between Alam and Kirschner and is used to address travel, distance,and notions of an exotic, foriegn space.
