Around 2005

Editor: This is "Around," a video piece by Ulla von Brandenburg. It feels oddly voyeuristic. We’re positioned behind this group; where do you think they are going? Curator: The grainy black and white gives it a timeless quality, almost like a memory. They’re heading somewhere, certainly. The urban landscape suggests a search, maybe even a shared experience that we, the viewers, are only privy to a fragment of. What do you feel when you observe them? Editor: A sense of unresolved anticipation, like waiting for a punchline. It makes me wonder if Von Brandenburg is questioning the nature of collective experience. Curator: Exactly! Are we participants, observers, or something in between? It beautifully captures the ambiguity of shared moments.
