Mein Hirn brennt

  • 0:03 - 0:07
    I'm Heide Pfützner, asking for your help to make this project
  • 0:07 - 0:13
    - an exhibition of brainpaintings - come true.
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    I originally came from Mecklenburg,
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    but have been in Leipzig ever since for love.
  • 0:19 - 0:27
    I’ve always had an interest in each and everything,
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    from people and culture to art, sports and travelling.
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    I've always been fascinated by languages,
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    and taught English in evening school for decades.
  • 0:39 - 0:45
    In 2007 I fell ill, and my life has never been the same again.
  • 0:45 - 0:50
    My family helped me in overcoming my helplessness.
  • 0:50 - 0:54
    My daughter contacted Adi Hoesle,
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    who introduced me to his invention of brainpainting.
  • 0:58 - 1:01

    Through him I got into the university of Würzburg BCI programme
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    and met Elisa and Loic. They developed a special brainpainting
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    program for me, and we’ve been a good team ever since.
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    BP enriches my life,
  • 1:14 - 1:19
    makes me creative again, and more alive.
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    I’ve always loved colours,
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    so brainpainting not only gives me back
  • 1:28 - 1:34
    indulging in them, but it’s also a challenge.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    Being very emotional and spontaneous,
  • 1:36 - 1:41
    it’s really hard work for me to concentrate
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    and be systematic.
  • 1:44 - 1:49
    My daughter works in Scotland and lives on Easdale,
  • 1:49 - 1:56
    the smallest inhabited island of the Inner Hebrides.
  • 1:56 - 2:02
    There are no cars, only vast skies and the Atlantic.
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    Since I set my foot on Easdale for the first time,
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    I have loved this place and its people.
  • 2:09 - 2:13
    Building a cairn there
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    made me realize, this is where I belong.
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    Here I can find peace and creativity.
  • 2:19 - 2:26
    Therefore, please help me return to Easdale
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    to exhibit my first ever brainpaintings.
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    I want to repay the islanders for the love and sympathy they have given me.
  • 2:33 - 2:38
    I implore you to support our project.
  • 2:38 - 2:42
    Danke schön, thank you and merci!
