Auslandsreise

With Ted Fendt’s AUSLANDSREISE, we venture into the urban space, into the area around Berlin’s Chamissoplatz. A group of people who are on friendly terms with one another. We don’t learn much about them—very much like in the cinema we know some people without knowing much about them. A reading group works its way through the texts of Anna Maria Ortese. People read in streets and parks, on the bed and in the kitchen, alone, in pairs, in groups of four. And there are also conversations about looking for an apartment, moving to another country, motherhood. Ortese’s books serve as points of escape in shared reflections on everyday life and literature.
