  • HOMESICK

    | Video Installation,2017 || Single channel HD, 7:50 minutes |

    HOMESICK is inspired by the short story “The Kitchen Clock” by the German post-war writer and playwright Wolfgang Borchert. The short story deals with a young man who lost his home and his parents during a bomb attack. The video was shot at Volkspark Humboldthain in Berlin Mitte, in the park was a high bunker with two flaked towers, partly bombed, creating an artificial mountain integrated into a new park. “Homesick” puts the war-torn story of the district in relation to the current situation in the Mediterranean and shows how stories of war, reconstruction and new beginnings recur and interfere.
