Liebe Ostverwandtschaft, 2011, still from the videoloop, 3:55 min.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the construction of the
German Wall, the artist Kim Dotty Hachmann has assembled
a "Westpaket" (something commonly sent in those times from
West Germans to East Germans). The video acts as a time
capsule from our current age, using combined truisms and
clichés through a mixture of excerpts from Angela Merkel's
New Years Address and parody of high society.
