InspiNation

It is amazing, how Dirk Jakobs managed to express in a single song what we all dream of: The beginning of something new. To set off for the next era, the transformation of old-established conventions into something brand-new, that is what we all are looking forward to. To me it is significant, that the artists involved in this project never met before. But with a cooperative effort they realized a masterpiece of music. InspiNation proves that we can reach all our aims, if we only work together.
(Vera Reinhardt-Glahn, director of the gospel choir Dahlheim)

Millions of years of evolution gave an extraordinary gift to men: The voice. Everybody sings, for himself or for an audience, low or aloud, with or without instrumental accompaniment. To sing out is liberating. The voice, coming from deep inside, pervades the whole body. And everybody is listening. From the earliest childhood, we enjoy music and its comforting effect on our soul. Inspire: That means both activate and, literally, breathing in. And the heartbeat of humanity is music. Ever since. Music is the only universal language. Music coming from the greek word muse, Euterpe, muse of music, inspired people in Antiquity. But evolution also gave us words: Both a blessing and a curse. Communication often bears the danger of misunderstandings, even when talking in the same language. Words are to be cautiously chosen. Dirk Jakobs does so in his new project, the video work ‘InspiNation’ (=Inspiring Nation). Based on his painting work, he created a film, combining music, singing and words to an inspiring plea with a fervent message: Imagine a global community inspired by the diversity of each nation.

Departing from space we see a blue dot emerge from the absolute darkness: Earth. From the spatial point-of-view, the world seems to be one unit. Once this was true, but billions of years ago, the global continent Pangaea slowly drifted apart, the continents, as we know them today, were formed. Now they are scattered across the oceans, they quietly lie under the tiny cotton clouds. A soft voice emerges. The lead singer and first muse, Kinga, takes us on a space trip; we are floating through glowing clouds of planetary nebula. Accompanied by the gentle music of strings, she invites us to follow her: We are marching into a world of dreams. This world will become reality. Follow the stars. Little by little, Dirk Jakobs’ painting ‘Genesis of Tomorrow’ appears and melts with the galactic outlook. The warm voice of the speaker joins in; he is in dialogue with Kinga, although they are speaking in different languages: Kinga comes from Hungary, the speaker uses English words. He encourages us to imagine a new world and hold on to the vision of a peaceful society, despite all doubts: Imagine a global community, inspired by the diversity of each nation….
What do you see? He resolves all questions: Can you change the world? Yes, you can.
