What role does childhood play in developing experience? How are personal present and past connected in the process of aging? The longing for the places of the personal past was the reason for a trip to Flensburg in 2001 a few weeks before 9/11. More than 2000 photos were taken in just a few days. It was only many years later that the negatives were digitized and it was only more than 20 years later that the need to process these recordings into a composition arose. The turbulent German-Danish history on both sides of today's border and the places of childhood come together in a whole where the past merges into one experience in the now. 3636 images are processed frame by frame in the first 3 movements. Each movement is containing 24 sequences of stills. The amount of images in the stills increases from 4 to 625 images simultaneously. After the first 3 movements the process is repeated towards the infinite to end in structures similar to the layers one would find in rock formations.
