Apfelesser Guter Küsser?
Apfelesser Guter Küsser is a film project that delves into an Austrian childhood myth: Can you tell if someone is a good kisser based on how they eat an apple? A group of men pose for the 16mm camera, each eating an apple in their own unique way. The focus lies on the intimate, almost symbolic gesture of eating, which can be interpreted as both mundane and sensual. The project explores the subtle differences in behavior and implicitly asks whether the way someone eats an apple can reveal anything about their kissing abilities - playful yet profound reflection on physical expression and personal experience. A key visual element is the uniform clothing of the men, all dressed in the same shade of red, which acts as a literal and metaphorical thread throughout the film. The uniform creates an intriguing dialogue between tradition and modernity and balances intimacy and anonymity. -US
