TRUST ME is an audio installation which has eleven boxes in different places in Bremerhaven-
Lehe; a portuguese cafe, kindergarten, diner, cabstand. You can hear the people from the places a
interviewed talking about trust. Why are they trusting someone or something? How does trust
develop? What happens when their trust was abused?
This is a work which is dealing with how society is taking a lead in where our path is going. Two women which grew up in different societies – west and east Germany. Both of them had similar paths and studied fine art.
The visiter site on an old wooden box, in the middle of empty shelves. The door is open and the spectator has the view to the inner German border.
The visitor can see many young people. They are moving in slow motion. They are reacting on something the visitor doesn´t know. This work is about reading in other people faces. What are we trying to hide? How are we reacting on something we think is taboo?
In the exhibition is a bookrack with the questions the people in the video had. Do be able to read them, the visitor has to be behind the bookrack and is like the recorded persons in a vulnerable situation.
One task: Goings backwards, finding your way by only taking the video function of the cell phone as a mirror.
Believe.
How are you starting your prayers? What is the place where you are praying? Is church as a
institution important for you? How do you imagine god?
Questions which where answered by very different people and which could be heard in the church
