The starting point for the video work MIGRANTS is the return of tens of thousands of migratory birds every evening to their roost in the Dollart, a bay formed by storm tides in the German-Dutch border region. In their search for food, they cross political borders – which are completely irrelevant to them – on a daily basis. Instead, the seek orientation along the large landscape formations, which in the Wadden Sea constantly move and shift in relation to each other. In the montage, the theme of the border is taken up and transferred into a temporal grid: a cut is made each second. Within this framework, an almost continuous movement is written with the aid of disparate shots: from approach to landing, from day to night, and from an agricultural environment to a dystopian, post-industrial setting.
