Nina Könnemann: Bann
Nina Könnemann’s Bann was filmed in London´s financial district where the spaces in which smoking is possible are increasingly restricted. The video presents a catalogue of inlets and corners where this activity is still practiced. Stains and residues, a hand or the tip of a shoe behind a wall indicate those niches. ⊕
Lisa Reihana: in Pursuit of Venus
