My art acts on society like...
"My art acts on society like... a plant - it draws it's strength from the dark, the hidden, and orients itself to the light." (Alexandra Seel)
The short film shows different artists and their artistic form or strategy of acting on society. For this, artists make use of words and objects. Their metaphorical use of objects feeds our imagination.
In this sensitive and poetic way, the short film explores the potentials and challenges of art committed to inducing systemic social change.

"From Databases to Life Stories"
The short film "From Databases to Life Stories" was developed for the exhibition "Public Library" which took place at the America Memorial Library in Berlin. Since 2002, the meticulous investigation of looted books that were appropriated by German libraries during the Nazi era allows for their continued return.
Through personal interviews, the short film investigates and brings to light the experiences and family destinies of three exemplary cases that were hidden behind the functionality of databases of looted books. How are the books returned? What emotions come up to the heirs, when they get a book from a deceased relative? The short film reflects on the effects that restitution entails for the heirs and their environment, becoming a testimony of social memory and societal transformation.

THE FOUR RESEARCH ARTS AREAS OF ACTIVITY: |

|
Researching - into how we want to live and how we want to live together. Our world is one in which science and technology have more and more influence over public opinion and political decisions. What can a joint artistic and scientific approach contribute to sustainability research?

|
Translating - between the manifold languages of science, multiple perceptions of reality, diverse concepts of value and different forms of memory. How can we all understand each other? How can we translate, compare, communicate and archive our ever evolving fields of knowledge? What approaches would help us build bridges of understanding?

|
Questioning - the world we live in. How can we collaborate in shaping a sustainable future? How can science and art as social systems not only cooperate but also monitor themselves? How can we check our own research questions, methods of work and areas of impact?

|

|
Cooperating - to encourage creative participatory processes between "experts from different disciplines" and the "experts of everyday knowledge". What can the RESEARCH ARTS community contribute to the transformation of global society towards one acting sustainably? How can we work together?
