Salomé Lamas 'A TORRE / THE TOWER' (still)  HD, 8’, b&w, stereo, PT, DE, MD, 2015 (Transnistria) (without dialogues)

Film in collaboration with German artist/performer Christoph Both-Asmus, whose long-term installation project The Tree Walker served as trigger for this work. A man, interpreted by Kolja Kravchenko, wanders in the woods of the conflict zone of Transnistria—an unrecognized but independent strip of land between the River Dniester and the eastern Moldovan border with Ukraine. He climbs and walks atop the forest trees of Teufelsberg in Berlin. Underneath the hill there is a never completed Nazi military college. For the filmmaker, he personifies the vertigo of looking at reality, an act commonly described as foolish.

“Maybe Kolja’s experiment of merging his body (human) with the tree (nature) venturing into a border zone between the earth and the sky is due to his purity of spirit, to the grandeur of the idiots, or the foolishness of the mystics; or is it all this together? Maybe it is a symptom of the enlightened – or simply an elaborated suicide.“
