Father - Dietrich Brüggemann
-
show
A young man at the bedside of his dying father. The father is transitioning - still here and already gone. One can still talk to him; maybe he can still listen, but he will no longer respond. The young man looks back on his own life while also contemplating his own future.
Western cultural history has long engaged with the figure of the father. Familial relationships often reflect forms of authority, sometimes stabilizing, sometimes oppressive. Yet, since the rise of gendered division of labor in early industrial society, fathers, overly busy, are primarily absent.
But what does the impending, very tangible absence at the moment of death mean for the biography of the descendants? What questions would one have wanted to ask? What answers are forever lost with the father's death? And how many secrets does the man who raised us and now lies in his bed as an old man take to his grave?
