Blending Flash Fiction & Art

Interview with Birgit Wildt

Birgit, with so many different forms available to a writer today I am curious to know why you choose to write flash fiction?

I was inspired by Walter Benjamin’s (1999) ’The Arcades Project', the brevity of form reaches out for brief encounters, for snippets of interference and disruptive episodes. Flashes, like rough sketches, allow open-ended arguments and unfinished thoughts to emerge which, adopting Eco’s concept of ‘open’ work, allow for more than just one voice or reading.

Interesting, thank you for that Birgit.
