• Cities / Miasta, 27'

  GER 2012, 27’

  Names of rivers are mostly feminine, of mountains masculine and cities neuter. The photo-film Cities discovers in Berlin, Budapest and New York a whole series of other cities hidden behind mirrors and fissures, and gives them women’s names. Beneath the surface it discovers our behaviour, both human and inhuman. It compresses urban addictions and dangers until we viewers from all over the world recognize ourselves as those portrayed. We are at home in the cities hidden beneath the real ones.

  FRA 2011, 27’

  A postman searches for addresses in order to deliver letters. The city is Kabul. The streets have no names, the houses have no numbers. Every inhabitant knows only his own. It takes hours, sometimes a whole day, before a letter can be handed over. And often they have to be returned to the post office as undeliverable. One family is so happy to get a letter from the USA that they are convinced the postman must be a friend of their son and has carried the letter from there personally. So he has no alternative but to tell the family over tea that their son is doing fine, except that he’s getting a little fat.

  Trains, cars, aircraft, ships, people. Everything revolves endlessly around itself. But shift and tilt lenses, pseudo-macros, pseudo miniature worlds, definition levels and time lapse do nothing but making a fairy tale out of us, an illusion of cheerfulness. Our environment as a playground in which we move to and fro like miniature figures and believe not that they are us, but our toys.
