<One Afternoon in Berlin>

    <One Afternoon in Berlin> is an art video that captures a serendipitous moment of human perseverance and connection in Berlin. While visiting galleries, the artist stumbles upon a scene where a man is attempting to clean the outside window of his apartment. As he wipes the glass, the cloth slips from his grasp and lands on the building's ledge, just out of reach. The video documents the man’s repeated efforts to retrieve the cloth, using various long objects from his home, each attempt ending in frustration. Finally, after numerous failed attempts, the man manages to push the cloth off the ledge, where it lands at the artist's feet. In a moment of spontaneous collaboration, the artist picks up the cloth and throws it back up to the man. This simple yet profound interaction highlights the persistence of the human spirit and the unexpected ways in which people come together to solve everyday challenges. The video reflects on the themes of effort, assistance, and the unforeseen connections that emerge in our daily lives.
