Stefan Panhans: SORRY
HMKV Video of the Month
On view 1 – 31 October 2017
In SORRY we see a somehow nightmarish, jam-packed train ride of a bunch of restless, tired and closemouthed people looking like half-professional, contemporary celebrity lookalikes; among others, in company of lots of XXL-coffee-to-go cups, a ghost of a 1930’s dirndl, two police officers in full rig, a jogging zombie and the military. Appearing absent and wordless, they carry all sorts of strange luggage looking like remains of a department store plundering and seem to follow certain unknown ritual rules until everything starts again. The situation seems surreal but, on the other hand, we recognize a lot of our contemporary reality in it.
