ZUGVÖGEL
to be also known as Theman's Dream *12 minutes, digitally transfered 8mm film* by Lara Schröder Made over the period of 1 year, Lara Schröder filmed each visitor to her home-in-exile, Berlin. Herself a migratory being, she documented each fleeting visitor and later combined the collected films to form unreal meetings and conversations, while the reality and memories of the visits soon faded into dream-like visions. These visions became the hallucinations of fictional character Theman, who has exiled himself to a hut in the forest. *** "The man who lived in a hut in the woodland had chosen to retreat / exile himself. His mind pure and with thoughts only of nature was corrupted by images of sinister, imposing man-made structures. Places he had never been, visitors who never came and never left. Conversations never had, the ghost of a dog from 20 years before. Loss, nostalgia for times never had, instability of nature and man’s attempt to stabilize it. Buildings, concrete in woodlands." Theman's Song: "Love, loss of past, loss of ones own being, loss of present. **Click the image to WATCH Zugvögel** this film was commissioned by GallerieVals, Sweden, as part of Wild Things 2010 |
