Ruinenlust: Lasnamägi, 2020 by Britta Benno

"When he woke up from sleep, he discovered to have transformed into a giant dinosaur of the future, that had so far been unknown. One could glimpse watery cubes scattered on the dome landscape behind the fog. These were, by chance, the well-preserved ruins of prefab houses in what was once called Lasnamäe.

Worlding Lasnamäe in ruins, overtaken by non-human fauna, puppet-film becomes an extension of my prints, staging a layered scenario with nostalgic connotation of baroque music.
Music: G. T. Telemann - Harpsichord Concerto in B Minor TWV 33:A1, Adagio.”
