This Land is Not Mine

Kat Austen (GB/DE)

This Land is Not Mine focuses on the region of Lusatia, where Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic meet and the Sorbian minority group has its home. This Land is Not Mine explores the changing identity of the ecosystem, land and peoples in the region as open cast brown coal mining is phased out. Including contributions of sounds from residents of Lusatia, the work is realized as a 7-track experimental music album and as a 20-channel video installation with soundscape, providing vignettes of this beautiful, historical, epic and changing region.

Archive of Spatial Knowledge

Irakli Sabekia (GE/NL)

Archive of Spatial Knowledge is an experimental digital platform. It gathers spatial and social memory of individuals who were forcefully displaced, or are denied spatial rights in the locations of their current residence. Archive‘s digital tool allows its contributors to attach their memories to physical locations in a virtual layer. While at the same time viewers can use the platform to access the erased knowledge on location, juxtaposing invisible stories and the reality of physical spaces.

the Intersection

Superflux (GB)

Superflux‘s film The Intersection journeys from a violent present to a cooperative future. Set within a possible hopeful future, several years after growing inequality and the splintering of reality reached a critical mass. The story features diverse protagonists recounting personal past experiences and their place in the emergence of the future they now live in — both the chaos and the hope that surfaced afterwards.
