Landscapes Internal | External
Document – Video – Collage

Landscapes of the present and texts from historical documents form two parallel narrative movements. Landscapes in Germany and Missouri (USA) intertwine with texts from the archives of the project on the Giessen Emigration Society of 1833/34.

The power of images, ideas, stories, sounds and noises transports the viewer into a media space, created as biographical, intellectual and sociopolitical landscape: Fragments – past and present.
