Bow and Arrow Season

Waiting — Hunting — Shadow — Monster

Field work at Wolletzsee outside Berlin during the workshop proved to be particularly productive. A former hunting ground for the DDR Stasi elite, this field trip produced compelling imagery and sound recordings with rich metaphorical resonances, including the stark contrasts between the peaceful landscape and the violent act of killing that it affords, silence and explosions, hunter and the hunted, surveillance, spying, voyeurism, fencing in and out at the edges and borders between fields and forests, etc.
