Das Parlament träumt -
Ein poetisches Bild des Europäischen Parlaments
The Parliament Dreams -
A Poetic Picture of the European Parliament
Could a picture revive the much invoked “Dream of Europe”? A romantic, desired image that depicts the Representatives of the European citizens, the Council and the Commission dreaming shoulder to shoulder? The photomontage reconstructs documentary exactly one plenary session in Strasbourg, all 818 participants have their eyes closed, looking within themselves. The individual snapshots were photographed during the sessions from the tribune (Oct. 2019 - Feb. 2020), cut out and then insert in the empty photographed plenary hall at the regular place. This is what it could look like if the European Parliament is in session, looking within themselves - and maybe even dreams.
