sounds for a wounded landscape / Activities on the Ground
A Film by Oliver Gather und Frauke Berg
In view of the question of a new way of dealing with our resources, there is also the question of a new way of dealing with landscape. How can humans enter into a relationship with the landscape, beyond a subject-object relationship that degrades everything “non-human” to an available mass of exploitation?

As a self-experiment, the sound artists Frauke Berg and Anja Lautermann played and listened into the large hole of the Garzweiler open-cast mine.
The camera observes the conflict at the hole, looks and listens into it. Like a collage, the film links all with all, finds a form for the fact that everything takes place with consequences in and on the same ground. All attempts to alleviate or stop the wounding of the landscape seem fragile, helpless and perhaps even futile.
