Hombres Videopoetry Award Finalist: Sensing Body and City

The poetic film format Sensing Body and City (2020) follows a walking women* through Berlin. A Voice Over guides with an inner stream of consciousness in different times, reflections and personal memories through the city. Animations, inner images and soundscapes mesh together as an introspective of a female* protagonist. A voice is moving through a mosaic of her present perception and memory that arise in certain places in Berlin. The protagonist seeks for new images and representations of personal memories that are non-visible for others, written in the body just as the city.
