Margarete tells the story of a purchase, inspired by simple curiosity, of a set of 64 film reels which belonged to an unknown person, living in a borderland region of East Germany. The author’s fascination with the aesthetic aspects of images captured on old film and the sentimental journey back to a time of communist scenes led him to convert and reuse these original materials. Thus they became a reflection on the theme of how we register memories and a private investigation into individual identities, in this case of the person who left behind traces of themselves imprinted upon those celluloid reels.
