Auf Anregung der Secession entstand ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt zwischen Vivian Suter und ihrem Sohn, Frank Wild: In seinem Tonstudio in Panajachel nahmen sie im Februar dieses Jahres zusammen mit weiteren Musikern ein Stück auf – den Remake eines Songs, den die Künstlerin in den frühen 1980er-Jahren geschrieben und mit Martin Suter und Beat Keller eingespielt hat.

Reacting to a suggestion of the Secession, Vivian Suter and her son, Frank Wild, have created a joint project: In his recording studio in Panajachel, they recorded a track together with other musicians in February of this year – the remake of a song that the artist wrote in the early 1980s and recorded with Martin Suter and Beat Keller.

I Would Like to Invite You for Dinner

I wish you weren’t indigestible,

Soft and fluffy is my soul.

My tummy juices, don’t worry,

Are sweet like a licorice roll.

I would like to invite you for dinner,

Lick on some ice cream,

Sip some champagne.

I would lay out the street with rosy petals,

Picking up all the rosty nails.

Slowly I will swallow you,

Finally coming home.

By then my tummy will be screaming:

Constipation, constipation, constipation!

These are the lyrics of a song by Vivian Suter written and produced in Basel in the early 1980s.
