Working Title:

Königin Po von Gaagelingen (Schweiz)
Königin Po von Kippelingen (Deutschland)
Queen Bum of Tiltingham (UK, USA, Australia)

During the last two month people were posing questions to the setting of
"Queen Bum of Tiltingham". I collected 240 of these Questions to write a Script.

The story so far:
Tiltingham is settled aboved the clouds
The Queen Bum of Tiltingham is roling from one side to the other.
Like this Tiltingham is constantly tilting
The Inhabitants of the Houses are pushing her to keep the little World in Balance.

Actually Tiltingham floats above the bed of a little girl.
The father and the girl are inventing a bedtime story together,
in a kind of question and answering game.
The world builts up and down during these Question and Anser game
to be finally landing on the big toes of the girl.
Queen Bum spreads her butt cheeks (those are actually her wings as she is a firefly)
and flys out of the bedroom window.


some of the collected questions:




Who lives in the Houses?
How is the World attached?
What are the cluds representing?
What you are afraid of?
Will they arrive somewhere?
Why is she naked?
Does she get sunburned?
Does it rain?
Do they celebrate the queens Birthday?

This is the first image-test for
Preist, an experimental animationproject.
Preist is the fifth season - so it is Spring, Summer, Autum, Winter, Preist
It is an empty season of empty time – slowly it grows longer and wider -
It is also a metaphore for a state of mind.

Together with Age Veroos, an estonian Composer
will be created a philosophical audio visual piece of empty time.
