Several bulky waste containers are strewn throughout the Tiergarten in Berlin, functioning as waste-disposal-sites for picnicking families and partying teenagers.
Intrigued by this uncanny constellation, I wanted to recreate this „Zone“ (Arkady & Boris Strugatzki - Roadside picnic) in the setting of a nighttime forest in the Hinterland by transferring these containers filled with industrial waste from the metropolis.
Using audio fragments of my grandpa (who is living next to the forest), talking about lived trauma and his everyday horrors, I aim to execute an archeologic dig on the human psyche, specific to the shooting location.
