Grishnackh by Mojmír Měchura
Soundtrack to the imaginary story of „Doctor Satan“, whose head was estranged to him by a demon. The story of the head and the demon of Hitler’s highway pillar develops in a narrative short film inspired by the Norwegian composer of black metal, Varg Vikernes.
The most obscure piece of Flesh&Brain production Grishnackh (2012) – inspired by the Norwegian black metal musician Varg Vikernes, using the pseudonym Count Grishnackh. This work was created by Petr Šprincl and Marie Hájková together. Grishnackh was a member of the band Mayhem and is the conductor of the band Burzum, in 2003 he murdured Euronymous (a member of Mayhem, where Grishnackh played in earlier). In this abstract portrait, from the beginning to the end, the symbols like a burning skull, a cross, or a svastika or hood of the ku-klux-klan are dominating. The video takes place at the dam in Brno, on the place the the pillar stands, which was built during World War 2 as a base for the future magistrate. Before this moment of fascism, a woman’s figure stands motionlessly, dressed in a black ku-klux-klan costume with a white svastika on her chest and a burning human skull pinned on a wheel. The reproduction of more shocking motifs situated in „home“ environment can be ethically indigestible and cause negative reactions for several audience members, or can be marked as „entartete kunst“.
