- In 1872, Edgar Degas visited his maternal Creole family, the Mussons, at their home in New Orleans, in what was to prove a pivotal moment in his career. Although he had painted ballerinas and the races, he was not well known and had never shown in a commercial gallery. In the family portraiture and paintings of cotton merchants accomplished during this brief five-month period in New Orleans, Degas defined his style and returned to Paris, where he joined with his colleagues to present the first Impressionist show.

- Once upon a time, that's how fairy-tales begin - these were my mother's closing words sometimes when she was telling us children about her youth in Nidden, and what she meant was that it was over. How does a person recall things if she is suddenly obliged to leave her home when still young, and not permitted to return for fifty years, and precisely what does she recall? Does she feel homesick for her youth? The film gives very personal answers to these questions, and yet they may be applicable to many. (H. Schulzeck) The film-maker questioned his mother, who was born in 1923, the second child of a fisherman's family living in Nidden in the Curische Nehrung. In 1945, she was obliged to flee to Schleswig-Holstein, where she still lives today. Twice whilst making this film - in the summer of 1997 and the winter of 1998 - the director accompanied his mother to her home, which is now part of Lithuania.

- This is the story of a couple, the ages of man, from birth to death. It is a history of cinema, weaving together images and sounds which are as fragile as hidden memories. From the indecipherable visual signs sketching shapes which gradually take form during a fragmented account up until its concluding return to the enigmatic images. VAGABONDING IMAGES is composed primarily of penetrating images. Shot over a period of several years, these images are for the most part fragmented. They cut up bodies, faces, animals, heavy snowfall, and waves on a beach into details. The legs and buttocks of a woman swimming, the feet of a child, the ears of an animal. These images, these film shots, act like small stories of perception which consist of capturing shapes and light with the creative openness required by improvisation. The images flicker, and dots of black, white and colour give the film is frailty and allows it to confer a fascinating density upon the subjects it portrays. The filmmakers have associated visual fragments with one another, thereby suggesting very short stories which they immediately leave suspended, available and accessible. Fade-outs, surprising combinations of heterogeneous images, sounds and music out of sync, the fitting intrusions of voices reciting texts by Dylan Thomas, Robert Frost and André Breton all create a poetic sense of time, VAGABONDING IMAGES is a film inspired by dreams, by memories which, as they emerge, weave together the stories of lives as they unfold in intimate detail.
