Glitch
Over time, I realized that broken things are not easy to put back together. In September 2014, I broke my front teeth and years later, due to my dentist's negligence, my smile still hasn't been fixed.
'Glitch' investigates the pain of healing when you know something was not done as it should have been. Reviewing those hours spent trusting and listening to someone who should have known what they were doing, and instead of helping, only caused more pain.
Between anger and frustration, this project became a way to talk about those who were hurt and not treated properly, those who were broken and left alone.
With a tireless desire to search for the feelings behind stories and trauma I find myself investigating another story of my life trying to explain and unfold it, to understand and share it.
Translating facts into metaphorical images and an online platform, I begin to shape this experience by researching it in what I have experienced and in the stories of others.
Edelweißpiraten sind treu
"Where did they meet?”
“Look around for somewhere to hide. That's were they were."
None of the boys and girls who hid in the woods are still alive, they who road their bicycles and camped in the countryside with their guitars and their desire to be young and free.
It was 1934 when the songs of the Edelweißpiraten began to echo through a Germany increasingly restricted by a more and more violent regime.
In my work, I have followed the paths of those boys and girls who took many risks in order to be free, accompanied by the memories of those who heard their stories while growing up, children of the juvenile resistance.
