„See you on the day before yesterday again“ is a project which was realized in the Exhibition „ an-archiv“ in a collaboration with the archive of the Academy for Visual Arts Leipzig. Based on a Japanese old invective, which means „never come again“, and inspired from the culture of horror movies, three works in this project, „absence“ „presence“ and „dialogue“ show of several aspects of archiving and relations between the present and the past, such as love, sympathy, fear and repeating.
The Video „Tiere (EN Animals)“ is not about animals but about human. The pictures of the animals in the zoo in Leipzig are, in this work, a sort of reflection surfaces for questions about being at home. The subtitles are the episodes of different people in my surroundings about their moving in the past. They explain about little uncomfortableness at their new home or by the moving itself, but just as subtitles to read and not as voices to hear. As the sound there is only street noise of cars to hear.
This work is not about particular movings or migrations. I was just wondering, if the feeling of being at home is movable, and how the process would be, if it could move.
