  • Moms on Fire12'40''

    Production: S 2016

    An ordinary neighbourhood in an ordinary town. Two women sit on a sofa and scratch their pregnant bellies. Four days till the due date. The situation is as unbearable as it is unavoidable. It’s simply intolerable. Masturbation isn’t an option, the clitoris can’t even be reached, and the boyfriend is absent, but he’s boring anyway.

Fragments of recognition and memory are resurrected by revisiting locations that have "played" other parts of the world in early Hollywood films. Echoes of classical films are heard within a collage constructed of audio fragments that were once recorded in the Californian landscape.
