Janek Turkowski: Margarete (PL)
September 1, 2017
Margarete tells the story of a purchase inspired by simple curiosity: a set of 64 film reels which belonged to an unknown person, living in a borderland region of East Germany. The author’s fascination with the aesthetic aspects of images captured on old film and also with the sentimental journey back into the time of Communism led him to convert and reuse these original materials. Thus they became a reflection on how we register memories and a private investigation into individual identities, in this case, of the person who left behind traces of themselves imprinted upon those celluloid reels.
