Three notes / Germany-Afghanistan / 2007 / 4' / 4:3
Twenty images form the only extant evidence of the artist’s early childhood homeland – evidence of an almost forgotten home in Kabul, Afghanistan. By means of staged cinematographic rituals, Jeanno Gaussi tries to find herself in these images and re-appropriate her lost memories.
