Train

Julika Rudelius investigates human behavior and group dynamics - the codes and charateristics through which people define themselves as groups. The videos are based on situations that Rudelius has observed in reality and than reconstructed for the work. In this way she produces stinging insights into social codes and role models. Because of the realistic, documentary style, Rudelius employs - from (street) interview to candid camera - the viewer is carried along quite naturally by her narratives. However, after a while something begins to niggle and the viewer begins to feel the uncomfortable sensation that something is not quite right in the "real life stories" that are being told with such convinction.
