Projekt

Currently shown at Grandfilm VoD – Germany, Austria, Switzerland

Projekt depicts the site of the International Trade Fair in Lagos as a transhistorical conglomerate of different perspectives by becoming itself a space of encounter and collaboration.

It was meant to be a place of trade, exchange and sharing. Now there are flooded rooms, flowers and weeds and snails and birds, cut fruit and cut wood, cooks and carpenters, an artificial lake and football fields, Ema’s memory of what once was here and Kendo’s view of what one can see.
