Die Straße

The film situates the action in the street: the video tells the story of a passer-by who becomes witness of a series of events without ever becoming part of things. Like Alice from Lewis Carroll’s novel, who maintains her position as observer and tries to understand the functioning of a world which is alien, here the protagonist plays the role of spectator, exactly as the viewers in the exhibition – strangers from another world. The work also investigates the idea of timelessness, as usual in von Brandenburg’s practice, which – as the artist herself has stated – attempts “to situate the action out of time and play with different epochs”.
