Prelude

| #13 Haunted Spaces
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

Ode to demolition. Resounding thunder accompanies the sparks of exploding fireworks. Faint points of light grow into glittering fountains and cascades and illuminate what initially resembles a completely foggy night sky. These images turn out to be different interior spaces, flashed in phases by the ignition, sites that have long since given up their original functionality. In the explosion they are combined into a dwelling of spectacle. Director Eginhartz Kanter layers the destruction: damage to the building, damage to the film material, bombastic damage audio of a fictionalized past, the preservation of the moment in decay.
