Berlin 21.6.1996
1996, film, 2:32 min, excerpt „ONE TO TWO BACK“
BERLIN 21.6.1996 is a mixture of a dance performance and the documentation of the reality surrounding the dancer.
All the filming took place on 21st June 1996 the longest day in the year and a short time after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
A man with a briefcase is walking through Berlin. He is moving on the street in the afternoon where no cars are allowed due to building works. There is heavy noisy traffic all around. He is dancing forwards and backwards, in a circle or even on the spot resulting in the the electronic montage which shows the inability to encounter himself.
The linear continuity of time and space seems to have been removed.
