Memories Of My Father

1 mobile video – 00min24

The video was created during the exploration prompted by the following impulse:

Describe your father to the group

The video was made at the Film Academy in the second lab on the topic of father/fathers within about 15 minutes.

The video shows a folded piece of paper with patterns drawn in shades of orange. In the center of the folded paper lies a black/silver Lindt candy. Two hands enter the frame from the left and right, slowly unwrapping the candy. There is no chocolate in the wrapper; it is empty. The hands place the empty candy wrapper on the colorful paper, adjust it briefly, and then leave it there. The sound of unwrapping is audible.

Which aspect sticks with me the most?
