Kollateral | Collateral
The video programme “Kollateral/Collateral” attempts to illuminate the unkle time: with the light of the projected videos and as an invitation to open the view for the collateral – the simultaneous, neighbouring and often overlooked.
During the Christmas season most people only concentrate on hot spiced wine, fairy lights, ginger bread and buying gifts to prepare for the dark and „reflective“ time of the year.
The video program Kollateral | Collateral tries to light up this dark time in a double meaning: By using the light of the projected videos and by opening the view for the collateral – the simultaneous, the nearby and the often overlooked.

What all works have in common is a precise, partly suprised view on the unknown within the familiar. Seemingly trivial and well-known nobody does deign to look at it.
