Experiencing Interruptions?

Beyond Order

Microcosm of prefabricated housing in East Germany: within the framework of an art project, children explore the foreign. They leave their monotonous everyday life behind and reinvent themselves.
Like Odradek the housefather, the children leave us fascinated and perplexed. What is on their minds? What are they thinking about? And what of their remarks have been simply parroted?
