Introduction: Wolf Guenter Thiel

The Land Sachsen-Anhalt becomes the topic of an
exposition. PLAY gallery for still and motion pictures
will host Angela Zumpe's stage of the specific day to
day social and cultural transformation of the Land, as
a cross-media and audiovisual experience. Angela Zumpe
introduces the Land in its multi-layered and identity
conveying changing processes by the means an
audiovisual tale. The main difference from a reportage
or documentation can be identified in the fact that
the artist manages without speaking or narrating
means. No one tells the contemplator: You have to see
that. Experience comes instead of teaching: watch,
listen, think about it. 
A film portrait was drawn of the region of Anhalt, the
region around Dessau, Bernburg, Köthen. It consciously
shows the injuries, left by the 20th century. A
century made of bellicose confrontation, that left
sociopolitical, economical and ideological traces and
wounds. 

The complexity of the current social, economical and
cultural transformation processes - of the diverging
perceptions of social and political groups of interest
- makes a neutral and non-ideological perspective
difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a
new form of conveying messages, that will enable
everyone to contemplate collectively, without falling
into alleged conflicts of interest.

The installation is about “urban landscapes in
transaction³, about the question of how the situation
is today. Young people express their perspectives, but
also time witnesses come to word, as well as
businessmen of the newly created markets and urban
transformations; all in all people who have
experienced the transaction actively. 


The project was promoted by Kulturelle Filmförderung
Sachsen-Anhalt, Landeszentrale für politische Bildung,
Hochschule Anhalt and Werkleitzgesellschaft für
künstlerische Bildmedien.

Angela Zumpe is Professor for audiovisual media at
Hochschule of Anhalt in Dessau.
