performing monuments

A research on the consequences and (in-)visibilities of genocide, apartheid and racism in Namibia, by looking closely at some of the recent commemorations to the genocide of the Herero and the Nama by German colonial powers between 1904 and 1908. The film combines the gaze of the camera lens on an old monument that marks Namibia ́s struggle for independence, with images of the H.E.S.S. telescopes that measure cosmic gamma rays.
