In “The Mill” from 2013, slow camera movements in the middle of a snow-covered landscape alternate with bodies of water. A sonorous voice tells a poem about a mysterious mill in the forest, which, like the miller, is never seen.

There are two versions: a special one-channel film for viewing in a cinematic context and a version with two video channels for a spatial installation context.
The work explores poetic ways of capturing phenomena associated with capital(ism). Long tracking shots of snow-covered trees are juxtaposed with tracking shots of small streams in the forest, also set in winter.
The film was shot in January 2013 in Germany, around Baden-Baden and South Palatinate.
