EPHEMERES MONUMENT Stories and traces of the body in open space. An audiovisual intervention made by young new Berliners, from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Eritrea, Romania and Poland. The film is a collective creation, made between young people and local artists from Berlin (DIE KÖRPERGEMEINSCHAFT). Exploring in different methods of body work, performance and the audiovisual medium, the film is developed as a narration through the body and the image, about the personal identification that the young new Berliners, have about the German capital.
