Hanspeter Ammann, Gegen Gefühls Debilität, Still

Two real events are the reason of the work: The Birth of Ammann's daughter and the young family's journey to Brazil. In contrast he presents pictures of the brutality of the world as they are mediated by the media. The confrontation between these worlds is done suddenly; blurry, almost romantic images of Brazilian landscapes take on news footage of the Turkish ultra-nationalists and assassin Mehmet Ali Agca. The material is separated on the audio and image level and dissolved of its logical context. The result is a magical journey in which even the banal TV content gets a mysterious connotation, a sensitive Readoption of the world.
