tricky disco (2022)
two channel video installation, 4K video, sound, color, english, 22 min.
Tricky Disco tracks the traces of cultural appropriation, initially following those in my own biography.
The film focuses on (self-)empowerment through participation in the techno subculture of the late nineties. But in the course of the narrative, the emancipatory and political potential of this subculture is countered by another dimension:
Using photogrammetric images and analog video footage, the work draws parallels in the urban development of Berlin and Frankfurt. It unmasks the attempted appropriation of the techno and house movement as a "German cultural asset" and depicts how efforts are being made to monetize it through hasty museumization.
