Camaraderies – a panoramic video installation, variable.
HD, surround/ stereo 17:34 min, 2007


Camaraderies deals with the panoramic idea as a democratic form and let us choose, where to turn one´s attention to. Camaraderies shows a panorama from urban space. Through a compression of time and action the social and functional characteristics of the place are drawn and made visible.

Camaraderies focus on the public space, where groups and individuals, influenced by clichés and social conventions, must read the codes of each other, trying to mark ownership to the public lane in order to build up own identity and self-understanding.
Time is compressed and individualities and objects are superimposed into the panorama. What normally lasts more days, last here only 17 minutes. Through their presence narratives in all directions arise.
Individuals are confronted groups of different social affiliations. The meth’s drinker, the homeless, the bag lady, the bottle collector are put opposite the group with baby carriages, the motor cycle club, the town planners and the football fans and hooligans. The ultimate dominating positions are present in form of police, demonstrators and helicopter.
Among this minor surreal actions inspired of proverbs and phrases are popping up and they put up questions about the documentary set up and authenticity.
