Staub zu Staub (dust to dust)

I'm no more your mother Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow Effacement at the wind's hand. Sylvia Plath DUST to DUST is a visual reflection on the yearning for the liberation of all images. A woman caught between animus and anima struggles for her Self, which seems in the process of dissolution. The horror of the Self to be without any self-image is at the same time the almost mystical desire for a kind of self-perception before of self-conscience. DUST to DUST traces the stages of a self-dissolution or a metamorphosis, the falling apart and rejection of all images.

Errante

Marcos Errante roams in an unknown territory, where his language is neither spoken nor written, seeking a place in the desert to shout. His journey is marked by a continuous sense of the present, where he finds himself trapped between real human encounters and his dreams, becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish which of these have been with his own ghosts.

Deutschland im Krieg

Im 21. Jahrhundert haben Märchen uneindeutige Enden. Große Liebe über die die ganze Stadt gesprochen hat - zwischen – einer Bundeswehrsoldatin der unerhörten Schönheit und dem schnellsten Fahrradkourier der Stadt – wird wegen ihres Diensts in Afghanistan unmöglich. Eine traurige aber nicht hoffnungslose Geschichte über die unmögliche Liebe während der Kriegszeit – und über die Stadt wo jeder alles weiß und die Hausfassaden – am Sonntag besonders schön sind.

At the door

A man comes to pick up his son at his ex-wife’s house, just like every weekend. As always, he waits at the entrance of her apartment building for his son to come down stairs. But this Saturday, it takes a little longer. Their son wants to finish watching a TV show. And so it happens that the separated couple starts to talk again – via the intercom. Suddenly the former intimacy is back, the conversation almost turns into a flirt... The most painful thing about a separation is the fact that you remain so close to each other.

Rescue the Fire

Berlin, 1993. Photographer and artist, Jürgen Baldiga, battles HIV. In the 1990s, the AIDS epidemic reached its climax, to which no one was prepared. Infected bodies and their stories diminish, erasing their existence. Through the death of his friends and subsequently his own, Baldiga becomes the chronicler of his time: "I am taking a picture. I photograph the world. I exist." Identity and history disappear without the persistence of memory. Until the final days of his life, Jürgen documents the exodus that seizes him. Rettet das Feuer (Rescue the Fire) directs the gaze to a piece of West Berlin history and the voices of the collective memory.
