VALLEY PRIDE

Lukas Marxt
The seemingly extraterrestrial camera eye floats upside down through a palm grove planted in a strictly rectilinear manner. Nature is literally upside down and existing in an artificial order as a business game. Only at the crescendo of the strange, vibrantly smoldering soundtrack by Jung an Tagen does the gaze slowly turn clockwise. Then, cut: quietness, open space...

GRENZSTEINE

Ulrike Knorr
Along the former border between East and West Germany, on the Eastern side there was an area of about 5km of width, where access was made difficult for the larger part of the population.
