zweidimensionales bewegtes Bild

Sleeping rough

Homeless men and women in downtown Hamburg were filmed over a six-month period of ethnographic fieldwork. While homeless are often represented as outcasts of society, this film shows the construction of intricate social networks, with alliances and sanctions, not unlike those of the working and consuming public that occupies Hamburg's central business district during daytime. The camera offers a view of daily routines and work, as well as leisure time which is spent socializing on a public square equipped with a container for luggage. Intimately, and with sometimes disenchanted frankness the protagonists reflect on the circumstances of their situation between romance and tragedy, past disappointments and future ambitions.
