AT/FR 2023, 7 min, digital 2K + Super 8 (digitalized), experimental essay film

The "I" reflects on its changed relationship with the "You."

Fragments of thoughts pass by. What is real? And what is just a projection?

How does remembering work? What is forgotten? Searching for traces in Piesenkofen, a tranquil place in Upper Bavaria.

The place where our grandmother, now over 90 years old, lives, shares a collective memory: Shortly before the end of World War II, there was a plane crash, which is still surrounded by numerous myths and stories

Body parts are exposed to the viewer. Or do the body parts want to expose themselves to the viewer's gaze?

The body parts are self-filmed smartphone clips by the respective person. One part that they like to show and one that they tend to hide. The clips are depersonalized fragments without names and complete faces, which do not follow a classical narration: There is no climax, no answers, and nothing happens (?).

I REALLY F** DON*T UNDERSTAND

DE/AT 2023, 13 min, digital 2K, experimental video loop

Can you learn compassion?

The video installation illuminates the topic of "compassion" through an associative montage. We visit a forest occupied by climate activists in Hanover (Leinemasch) to get to the bottom of compassion and the squatters' motivation. We also look at bacteria in a laboratory under a microscope, ask about compassion for microorganisms and talk about the topic ourselves as artists.
