GRACE SCWHINDT

Tenant (2012)

78 min

In Tenant, the family home becomes the stage to re-enact a scripted dialogue that takes as a starting point a story about Mrs. Schumacher who was the lodger of the artist's grandfather in Berlin during the Second World War. She was a communist and helped Vladimir Lenin travel from Switzerland to Russia in 1917 after the February Revolution broke out. The relationship between language and physical movements explores roles that these two elements play in the creation of knowledge and social relations.

EMMANUEL VAN DER AUWERA

The citadel (2008)

17 min

An obtusely self-contained citadel is a theatre for strange rituals.
