Decisions
(GER 2014, 4’55’’, English)
In this video, the artist relates decisions her great-grandmother made that have continued to influence the fate of the entire family up to the present. Many images are taken from the family archives, others from the Internet; true history and fiction become an insoluble tangle. Viewers must decide for themselves what is true and what is not.
