Private Project

POWDER

POWDER documents the handling of snow masses in Hintersee (Austria) in January 2019, where 94 million cubic meters of snow were a great challenge for the community. The video first shows the sublimity of snow and then increasingly depicts the fight against the overwhelming masses of snow, first through various machines and finally in a duel between snow and human beings. The split screen stands for the dialectic of snow of threat and beauty as well as for the double authorship.
