Human Diary
Elmar Hess
"Human Diary" is an interdisciplinary installation of films, photographs, and fictional artifacts. The work is a reflection of the present, described from the perspective of a child who fears for his future: the consequences of environmental destruction seem to be putting all existence and ultimately the survival of humankind themselves into perspective. The project reflects the child's fate in his family situation. Worn down by frequent conflicts between his parents, the child takes refuge in a fantasy world, a game between fact and fiction, which makes family life appear in a more global dimension: In the child's imagination, the private conflicts become social controversies that underlie current political, social and ecological dilemmas. The ongoing destruction of the ecosystem is demonstrated in the installation project through a performance. It focuses on the development of the child and a great passion that it has: dancing. Through the child's dance, the work symbolically conveys the fate of the earth through the expansion of humanity.
