Here is Some Place Else (2025) is a short documentary-style film work that unfolds the social and personal narratives hidden in landscape, exploring lost places, the idea of home, and acts of memory. The footage was filmed in late 2022 and early 2023 in the landscape near a lignite surface mine in Saxony (Germany), in the kitchen of a family home nearby, and in the collections department of a national museum in Bonn.



The film’s subject is the disappeared village of Tzschelln, evacuated and demolished in the late 1970s to make way for a lignite surface mine. It centers around a series of audio interviews, firstly with a brother and sister who spent their childhood in the village, and secondly with staff from the national museum, and juxtaposes these conversations with images of the landscape today and with various indexes of memory: family photographs, hand-written documents, memorial markers and a large landscape painting. The work Here is Some Place Else becomes an additional document in this catalogue of remembrances.

This work was made possible through the financial support of a ‘NeuStart Kultur’ stipend from Stiftung Kunstfonds.
