"Memory makes the most beautiful movies..." A voice is heard in the dark while a flashlight traces the wooden skeletons of half-erected buildings and frames. Using architecture, sound distortion and a nocturnal floating camera, the construction of memory feels like a dream remembered and instantly forgotten; a memory not something to be preserved but destroyed outside the mind.

This excerpt from a poem by Russian-American Nobel Prize winner Joseph Brodsky is a description of the Soviet Empire of the 1980s, a metaphorical reckoning with a technocratic regime, and a nightmarish illustration of war.

We see through the eyes of a machine: lines, rectangles, squares. A reduced world, minimal and harsh. A documentary view of cornfields that reveals geometric shapes and describes a landscape that has been distanced from „nature“. We also see: beauty, precision, destruction.

Change of perspective: on a trip to the largest German national monuments, the focus is not on the massive structures but on the smallest inhabitants of the landscape. They eagerly crawl and creep over the craggy stones and become part of a mythological conversation.
