Unter den Linden installation consists of two films projected in two separated ecrans. In the first projection, a fixed camera on the seafront films in a beach scenario with sand, sea, sky and three people: two are talking; the third is walking; on the first plan, projected on the sand, the shadow of a group of spectators seems to observe the scene. In the second film, the movement of the waves switches is filmed from a train window. The non coincidence between images, places, times and spaces presented can stimulate a reflection about nature, variability and contingency of the real. The title, Unter den Linden [Beneath the lime trees] remembers the name of the main avenue of Berlin-East, with the famous Gate of Brandenburg, the Opera House, the Russian embassy, the Historical Museum, the Humboldt University, the Palace of the Republic and the Berliner Dom. With the fall of the Berlin wall, Unter den Linden is not anymore the symbolic place of politics, becoming a major tourist attraction sites of the city. Thus, the historical place, ie, where the real is embodied, gave way to a real no theoretical mediation, a historical vacuum. "The extreme realism of today especially has this intention: to show the existing theoretical without any mediation. But what is reality in its naked existence? The real, totally deprived of any conceptual mediation? A totally bereft existence of essence? A reality devoid of any idea? An absolute independent of thought?" (Mario Perniola, "Art and its shadow") [Sinopsis]
