T.W.B.T.C | To Whom Belongs The City
A Chi Appartiene La Città | Wem gehört die Stadt

The video work condenses twenty-five recorded encounters with women of different ages in seven European cities. The conversations expose the cultural and social background of the protagonists’s own praxis and daily routine. The interview partners chose a meeting point in their respective city, description of place and meaning gave the opening for the recordings.

The video develops a discursive contribution, which highlights the sights of the (female) interviewed on the (global) city and society, hence a living environment related to all its possibilities and restrictions. These personal statements outline a multifaceted view of the cities.
