Im Anschluss an eine queer-theoretische reparative Perspektive betrachte ich lustvolle Strategien des Überlebens in zwei Film- bzw. Videoarbeiten. Ming Wongs "Lerne deutsch mit Petra von Kant" (2007) und Cana Bilir-Meiers "This Makes Me Want to Predict the Past" (2019) erzeugen unvorhergesehene, lebenserhaltende und "transhistorische Beziehungen". Beide respektieren dabei die mediale Lücke im Zugriff auf die Vergangenheit.
Following Hannah Arendt's remarks on refugee camps as spaces of 'worldlessness', I examine how, in films on European asylum facilities, systemic violence 'makes itself known' in images of nature. Nature separates and isolates ("La Forteresse", "Forst"), it constitutes a sphere of domination and control ("View from Above"), and it functions directly as a murder weapon ("Purple Sea"). Nature, in these films, indicates the Outside within, haunted by the latent and ghostly presence of systemic violence.
