Lea
Nina Yuen
»Now, they are coming together.« (Nina Yuen)
Off-screen we hear antlers crashing against each other: two deer are fighting. On-screen we see the film-maker’s hands recreating and describing the scene with two ferns, two leaves, two daisies and other material. Poetically, personally and comically – this is how Nina Yuen links language and her visually minimalist images in their relationship to nature.
During the festival Lea will also be shown on the website of the Dortmund Hartware MedienKunstVerein.
