nach dem schmerz
Experimental video (Masterarbeit), 2025

Architecture and sculpture from the Nazi era surround us in our everyday lives. In the near future, these relics will be the only historical documents from this period, as all surviving eyewitnesses will have died. This makes them a fundamental and central part of our culture of remembrance. However, societal and political developments throughout Europe are forcing us to question our current culture of remembrance. Founding a state exclusively on pride and honour is attractive to a growing segment of society. Nevertheless, an informed, actively remembering civil society is fundamental to a stable democracy. “nach dem Schmerz” (after the pain) explores, processes, and distorts these relics. They oscillate and hallucinate between hard and soft; real and digital. In this way, they allow the viewer to immerse themselves in the mire of history.
