The Wind is a short film shot in Bavaria which juxtaposes footage of greenery swaying under the influence of a gentle breeze, with a story told through intertitles about a son supporting his mother’s recovery from a heart attack. These two seemingly unrelated elements interweave in their meditative reflections/descriptions on/of the wind.

Daniel Gustav Cramer

Born in 1975 in Neuss, Germany. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Working across sculpture, photography, film, sound, and text, Daniel Gustav Cramer’s practice draws on our collective experiences and shared memories to create a form of fragmented storytelling. The narratives the artist produce reference moments from his biography, scenes from the literary canon, as well as archives, both official, as in the United States Air Force’s research determining the threat of UFOs, and amateur, as in the registry of undocumented ghost towns abandoned in the American West, as equally futile attempts to map the world we inhabit. Cramer’s works cohere to suggest a travellers journal as a piece of open ended research into the human condition.
