Das Projekt Familie

In this video, a young family is sitting on a triangular piece of fabric suspended above the ground in a central street of Bolzano. During the video, first the father, then the mother, and finally the child, who gets initiated in this practice by the mother, are threading a string around the triangular structure in order to confer stability to it. In this work, learning to shoulder each other and to take on collective responsibility—all at the same time—are shown metaphorically. Through the pulling of the strings, one takes care of stability, but at the same time defines self-referentiality.
