Overview

'Only a Free Individual Can Create a Free Society'. A new film installation by Grace Schwindt. Revisiting discussions she witnessed as a child surrounded by left-wing individuals in Frankfurt, Germany, the artist creates a narrative that questions how freedom was, and is, understood, who has access to it and what political and social structures need to be in place to create a free society. In this visually rich, feature-length film Schwindt constructs her own processes of translating language into vivid material, choreographing dancers, set, props, costume, lighting, sound, camera movement and words as elementary forms carrying symbolic power.
