In the film ‘Thievery and Songs’ the filmmaker narrates, in his own voice, a dream he has
of the Town Musicians of Bremen. The film itself comes across as a dream or hallucination.
Like much of his work, this film is based on research, memory and narration and brings
together this fairy tale with childhood recollections, combined with animal characters visiting
their psychotherapists and memories of his own education and body art. 
This collage of moving images is composed of Super 8 film, video, watercolours, drawings, claymation and his father´s photographies. Each frame carries the distinctive atmosphere of its medium. The work narrates different stories, from Wieland’s transformation into a snail, which by the turns of narrative, bears a relationship to landscapes, a therapeutic session, the notion of memory and hierarchy. 
This latest work presents a critique of hierarchical structures and the ghosts of WW2. 
The film also delves into the true story of a Jewish-Austrian dancer who had to escape Austria for Bombay in1938. Filmed inside government buildings it sets a ‘quote’ for Austria’s past, since there were so many people in these buildings who were responsible, who could decide over life and death.’
Altogether in this film, fables, memory, histories and reflections on contemporary life
collapse into a visual philosophy of being, carrying a tragicomic spirit that mingles irony and
absurdity with a gripping, poetic sobriety.
