UNAMERICA Relocating memories, 2018
Shaping the myth, 2011
The torn Horizon, 2020

UNAMERICA Relocating memories
deals with the commemoration of the internment of Japanese-Americans at the former War Relocation Center in Manzanar, USA during World War II. Once a year survivors, their relatives, as well as sympathizing groups come together to commemorate the forced displacement and detention of more than 10,000 people authorized by president Roosevelt through the Executive Order 9066. In 1985 Manzanar was declared a national memorial site. Since 9/11 the Japanese-American community intensively expresses its solidarity also with Muslim communities in the USA and invites them to participate in the events at Manzanar. The video focusses on different historical, political and visual narratives with the purpose to understand how and in which way the historical events are represented and reconstructed today. The historical photos used in the video are taken by Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange.

Shaping the myth, 2011
deals with the myth of the german city Dresden, its visual reproduction and its recent perception. The projection is an abstract reenactment, which refers symbolically to two significant historical events (the bombardment in 1945 / the big flood of 2002). The seven images are the image-products of the reenactment and reflect how various times, histories and spaces merge into each other. They visualize and detect the process of history in the making. The work outlines the process by which history is produced and inscribed into the respective present.

The torn Horizon, 2020
Wind tunnels are laboratories in which realities are created. They not only provide an environment in which to study the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics of objects but also serve as mirrors of political, economic, and military power relations and as spaces of knowledge production. Measuring the velocity, movement, and resistance of the wind and air is interpreted and transmitted as a male success story of scientific progress. Luise Schröder’s essay film The Torn Horizon looks at this myth from the perspective of six women whose counter-narratives interrupt the linear course of historical development. The wind tunnel thus becomes a poetic-aesthetic space that makes the forgotten and invisible stories tangible and examines them for their utopian potential. The power of coherence is a matter of perspective…
