Glowing filament in the body – reading with Tanja Jeworutzki
In 2025, she published her first volume of poetry “Glühfaden im Körperraum”. She combines her love of writing, dancing and painting in her work “bewegte.worte” and is constantly researching new forms of expression in words, color and movement.
In her poems, Tanja Jeworutzki allows us to share in her search for unvarnished honesty before and with herself. Experiences, longings, feelings and thoughts find their way out of the hidden into a visible form of color, word and dance in moments of intimate closeness with herself. Released from formlessness, we face ourselves unveiled in what we can see and recognize. Searching becomes finding. Afterwards, we can express something of our own.
Lecture by Heinrich Gehring: Dementia, Alzheimer’s, forgetfulness – when memory deteriorates
To a certain extent, increasing forgetfulness is an inevitable side effect of ageing. However, if it is so pronounced that it makes normal everyday life difficult or impossible, forgetfulness becomes a disease. Dementia is a disease that is more closely linked to age than any other brain disorder. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s dementia, in which nerve cells in the brain die for reasons that are not yet fully understood. However, a blockage of the brain’s blood vessels, e.g. due to a stroke, can also trigger dementia. If nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the cerebrum die, this can greatly change the personality and behavior of the person concerned, often long before memory disorders become noticeable.
