Es Ist So Schön, Dass Wir Nicht Mehr Über Politik Sprechen Müssen (2013)
The German version, Es ist So Schön, Dass Wir Nicht Mehr Über Politik Sprechen Müssen, was commissioned by Filmfestival Münster and performed at Kunsthalle Münster in October 2013. The slogans in this version were adjusted to the then-current German political situation and were conceived and collected by a group of people in the streets of Münster in the days leading up to the German general election.
Some of the slogans used were “We paid our dues,” “The Polish take good care of us,” and “All refugees are welcome in Germany.”
Produced for the exhibition One of us cannot be wrong– Positionen zur Video- und Medienkunst at Kunsthalle Münster, Germany
