A range
of sources inform this project. Two films by Wim Wenders, Wings of
Desire (1987) and Faraway So Close! (1993), are central
in formulating an initial impression of Berlin. Over these are a selection
of other texts accompanied by my own work as a visual artist and writer.
As
an inter-textual work, this project doesn't claim a singular authorial
voice over either the places it evokes or the texts it refers to. What
I hope is to open up a third space that pedestrians on the web may co-inhabit
together. This is as much about difference and identification, integration
and exclusion, a desire to participate and contribute, as well as a need
to be recognized and acknowledged.
