This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
This exhibition investigates places in Mallorca, Spain and how sites of crimes during the dictatorship and civil war can be examined from the present to their past using documentary film approaches. Is it possible to uncover the layers and interconnections of a place with its history and entanglements using filmic images of the present and different voices from interviews, quotes from documents and letters, sounds and the artists voice-over? This exhibition will be created as part of the work on the ongoing PhD project “Memory in Documentary Essayistic Film” located at University of Fine Arts Hamburg.
It involves capturing a place and its inscriptions, reflecting on the history of the location, Spanish-German entanglements, and transnational memory through the camera images.
