Here East is set in a new housing development in East London. Using a zoom lens and filmed undercover, the video observes this architectural space. As the sun fades and lights go on, the camera witnesses both the empty order of the surrounding area and the activity within the flats. (Ann Arbor Film Festival)

Englisch An unpaneled window into the soul of residents, a voyeuristic view of the camera into the apartment of a contemporary Heideggerian stay, from which we see nothing more than everything. This is because maybe there is nothing behind the blind angle of the wall; and maybe everything is there, just hidden behind the limit of the camera. Everything will only be there when we want to dream the dream of an evening serenade, of a terrace against the backdrop of a sunset, of peace after a day at work. For those who believe that a camera is a tool of knowledge as powerful as a pneumatic hammer, the camera reveals that the orthogonal world of a residential building, the window frame of a life's image and a television masterpiece canvas, shining into the darkness with colors a million times more saturated than the reddest of sunsets, cannot do without the isomorphism of all elements, whose necessary visual counterpoint and at the same time ideological complement shall be the absence of life outside the delimited zone of interest. A square and a rectangle (the basic building block of the life's prison of contemporary humanity) teeming with empty life against empty streets and a sky without humans. ()
