»King George III«

Olaf Langmack:

In 2014 I had made two experiences that generally are considered life-changing. Inspired by these, I set out to decipher my story. In February 2015, I captured its almost lifelong version through a series of typical episodes. (…) However, I couldn't find a way to decipher them convincingly. I concluded that instead of an autobiography, I would have to write an autofictional novel, even without any experience or training. The fictional element became an impossible machine, which could read and print thoughts. This trick in 2020  eventually brought an actually life-changing self-realization and shortly afterwards a conclusion of this project.
