• Standing

    Standing explores the vulnerable human body in its effort to gather personal and collective memories. Frau Wolff is standing in places that seemingly promore this endeavour. "A Prussian woman", in her own words, who "lived as an adolescent the horror of World War II" and "spent two years in a USSR camp". She married and moved to East Berlin's Rosa Luxemburg Platz where she lived in the same flat from 1965 to 2013. She is filmed standing inside a number of public buildings and monuments she had never visited before, around her neighbourhood. She is standing in the Jewish Cemetery Schönhauser Alle, in the Administrative Court Mitte, in various rooms of the Institute of Anatomy at the Charité Hospital, and in the Volksbühne-am-Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz Theatre.
