My WGT photos from 2009:

• Südfriedhof Leipzig
• The bands
• Gothic Musical “Rappacinis Tochter”
• The people

I took them on the Wave Gotik Treffen 2009.

The Südfriedhof in Leipzig (Germany) is the first series within the project: “Decree of silence” – silent walks over cemeteries.

Liner notes:

The 3rd and last part of the WGT coverage Рthe bands. With photos of Aesthetic Perfection, Client, Combichrist, Feindflug, OmDuL̦, Painbastard, State Of The Union, The Eden House, Van Langen, Verlangen and Yelworc.

The story is about young and desperate Giovanni who was forced to enroll at Padua university. He accidentally discovers his neighbour’s beautiful daughter and falls in love. The mysterious girl has a dark secret and she lives hidden in the house of her father Dr. Rappacini. But Giovanni is not willing to give up and asks his fatherly professor Baglioni for help…

The most impressive part of the annual “Wave Gotik Treffen” all over Leipzig.

An angelface smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell – no words to say
beside the cross on your grave
and those forever burning candles

Needed elsewhere
to remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love, tears of fear
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Oh, Lord why
the angels fall first

(Nightwish “Angels fall first”)

Model Stefanie F.  Death (XIII) is the thirteenth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in Tarot card games as well as in divination.

Some frequent keywords used by tarot readers for the interpretation of Death are:

- Ending of a cycle – Loss – Conclusion – Sadness
- Transition into a new state – Psychological transformation
- Finishing up – Regeneration – Elimination of old patterns
- Being caught in the inescapable – Good-byes – Deep change

According to Eden Gray and other authors on the subject, it is unlikely that this card actually represents a physical death. Typically it implies an end, possibly of a relationship or interest, and therefore implies an increased sense of self-awareness — not to be confused with self-consciousness or any kind of self-diminishment.
