PLOT
Video Installation, 2 x 6:08 min Loop, HD Video, Stereo, 2010
"Plot" was filmed on the acces road leading to the airfield of the former Russian military airport Gross-Dölln, situated 80 km north of Berlin. "Plot" depicts an endless changeover of power: presented on two opposing screens, the installation oscilates between closeness and distance, indifference and threat.
