Matière und Memory
1989

Video, 15 min. color, sound
Production: Weltnotiz Hamburg, Medienwerkstatt Wien
Supported by Hamburger Filmförderung

In an experimental narrative form the video puts on question words like home and exile. Based on fragments of a text by German poet Else Lasker-Schüler the video tries to reflect more generally the relation between places and identities. Going back and forth, coming and leaving – all those movements are ending in a circle-line: it is not the here and there that is important, but the inbetween: movement, materiality and memory.
