In the context of the Düsseldorf Photo Weekend 2018 the British filmmaker and photographer Matt Hulse and I developed a video installation. Together we shot a video on the Worringer Platz in Düsseldorf, a large square that is said to be the ugliest and dirtiest area of the whole city. Our aim was to find beauty in this space as well as to articulate a general love for neglected spaces. Part of our collaboration was also a poem that Matt Hulse derived from a fictitious written conversation between us:
such beauty in this place
canopied by dark skies
full of sparkling
distant stars
right here
there is love
The installation named SPACE FALL was to be seen in the glasshouse located on the Worringer Platz during the Düsseldorf Photo Weekend from February 18th to February 20th 2018.
