Oh! Die Vier Jahreszeiten
Ute Aurand, Ulrike Pfeiffer
Winter in Berlin in front of the Reichstag, summer in Paris on the Place de la Concorde, spring on Red Square in Moscow, autumn in the banking district of London. Aurand and Pfeiffer film each other in these historical locations. In doing so, they try to »bring the place back from history to the present«
(U. Aurand & U. Pfeiffer).
