Sensus

You are now fifty. That is no longer the middle of life. It is profound. Your mother in a nursing home. Your father at home on the sofa. Armin Senser succinctly captures that moment when we can no longer overlook aging, illness, and death, separation and fear. When we find ourselves thrown off course, realizing that our surroundings and the people who have always been there have become foreign to us. With "Sensus," Armin Senser presents an impressive chronicle of a slow return to life. The narrative unfolds between Berlin, the center of life, and Biel, the place of childhood. Sensually close yet also reflectively factual, everyday life, memories, and events are examined for possible points of reference. There are also accounts of visits to the parents, oscillating between tender closeness and farewell.
