Artist dances and sings popular love songs from 80's and 90's in
front of a huge monument in Worpswede village, Germany, called "The
Stone of Lower Saxony" (in German:Niedersachsenstein). In 1915,
when the statue had been started to plan, its function was
originally devoted to celebrate a victory of Germany in the World
War I, but in 1922 it was inaugurated as a monument for the fallen
soldiers. Due to unpleasant historical connotations, it now stands
lonely and forgotten.
While working at artist's residency at Künstlerhäuser Worpswede,
Germany, I invited local professional musicians to write a love
song for my video work. I made the lyrics of the song out of
populist speeches by German politicians of the present and the
past.
