Ferne Stimmen

Annik Leroy & Julie Morel

16mm transferred to HD video, b&w, 16:9, stereo & 5.1, German (EN st), BE, 2023, 5’

Let’s rewind. In 1942, Hannah Arendt writes a poem, dedicated to her dear friend Walter Benjamin. In 1944, the village and inhabitants of Oradour-sur-glane are obliterated by a Waffen-SS unit. In 1970, Ulrike Meinhof rises to passionate action against imperialism.
In an elegy, in a manifesto, in the silence of destruction, Leroy and Morel create a dialogue in counterpoint to after-images of the past.
