Description
The video „Planschen“ metaphorically embodies the lack of anchor
points we experience in our time and is represented through a mass of people
swimming around in the middle of the ocean; each one supported by his own
tyre-tube. The protagonists are 3 women and 3 men floating next to each other.
During the 5-minutes video they start gazing each other, sometimes with looks
filled with jealousy, sometimes filled with deep sarcasm.
