Ulla von Brandenburg presents 24 films made since the turn of the millennium and now brought together for the first time, in a maze-like configuration on the fourth floor of the Mamco museum. These 24 films, including Die Strasse, Around and Singspiel, are uncut and mostly consist of a single long take that lasts no longer than the reel of film on which they have been shot. Their details are toned down by the use of black-and-white, the camera movement is hazy, and the scenery, clothing and accessories do not indicate any particular period or place — a loss of spatial and temporal clues that encourages the visitor to walk through the exhibition like a Symbolist reverie, with fragments of nursery rhymes, spiritualist séances, magic tricks or folklore rituals emerging from it.
