The End or Beginning?

Bärbel Dudeck
Germany, 1991, 6 Min

A Super 8 film shot in 1990 in Mecklenburg and the border installations recently made open to the public. Having tasted freedom, a number of uneasy questions about the future now demand answers.

Bärbel Dudeck

Prior to the completion of German reunification the Berlin Wall had already fallen, taking with it the border installations, watch towers and the order to shoot-on-sight. Everyone was now free to enter and explore the so-called “death-strip” (located between the inner and outer walls), which proved to be one of the first impulses of freedom for many. Bärbel Dudeck joined their ranks with her Super 8 camera, a natural reflex for an amateur filmmaker. There was, however, no avoiding a troublesome glance towards the future. KF
