Lighthouse is about the labour system<br />

and the factory town in Southern<br />

influenced by the social and political<br />

infrastructure. Guangdong District<br />

provinces, and one of its cities,<br />

Guangzhou, attracts farmers from<br />

the countryside looking for factory<br />

work.<br />

PORTRAIT OF KARL<br />

MARX AS A YOUNG GOD<br />

Gernot Wieland<br />

Die Bilder sind spezifische Reminiszenzen<br />

an die jüngere deutsche<br />

Geschichte. Die Stimme erweitert<br />

und konterkariert diese Bilder mit<br />

einer Vielzahl von Deutungen. Diese<br />

fiktive Miniatur wird als Dokumentation<br />

von Ereignissen verhandelt,<br />

die so nie stattgefunden haben,<br />

aber ebenso gut hätten passieren<br />

können.<br />

The images visualise specific reminiscences<br />

from recent German history,<br />

while the voiceover extends<br />

and counteracts these images with<br />

a multitude of interpretations. This<br />

›fictitious miniature‹ is treated as<br />

documentation about events which<br />

never took place, but which just as<br />

well could have happened<br />

Gernot Wieland, *1968 in Horn,<br />
