Eine coole Socke
Born from a serendipitous encounter between a heavily pregnant Laufer and a 100-year-old Erez, Eine coole Socke delves into the interconnected biographies of the two. For the preceding eleven years, both lived just 500 meters apart from their respective childhood homes—now swapped. Set against the backdrop of sweeping changes in 1920s Berlin and the utopian Kibbutz of the 1980s, it explores memories, enduring connections, and the complex tapestry of their shared and often contradictory childhood experiences.
Heavy Curtain
Harmless at first glance, Heavy Curtain reveals deeper, painful layers. A collage of motifs from children's drawings found in the archives of Kibbutz Hazorea, Israel, it captures the poignant truths of second-graders during the Israeli Holocaust Commemoration Day in the mid-1980s. The curtain frames the inner worlds of these children, exposing their visual vocabularies and shaping worldviews. Stars become Stars of David, smiles accompany presumed death, and swastikas recur. This curtain, both private and theatrical, underscores the challenges of remembrance and education for the 'third generation,' blurring the lines between truth and fiction.
