In collaboration with Kristina Paustian

The starting point for the essay film Relocating a Structure is Maria Eichhorn‘s contribution to the German Pavilion in 2022. The film explores Eichhorn‘s concept of relocating the German Pavilion building for the duration of the exhibition as a cinematic thought experiment. What would happen if the German Pavilion were to disappear for a few months? What stories could be told through the empty space created? Through various voices from the fields of architecture, art and activism, this essay film shows a critical approach to German history and combines the fascist architecture of the German Pavilion with a detailed search for traces of historical and contemporary resistance movements in Venice.
