The video Western DDR (2005) deals with the relations between East and West
Europe, and with the transfers between two regimes and two political and
economical systems. This documentary could also be filed under fiction. An off
screen voice narrates in a neutral tone images of a cow-boy’s village which was
totally rebuilt in a former DDR communist era camp, located in Templin — North of
Berlin. The video is an investigation about a specific site looking at the successive
steps of the erasure process. Western DDR plays with the propagation of
information and the potential memory process led by the artist’s approach, as well
as by the shift of economical and political models.
