Old Days Clip
Grey-haired people in colorful leisurewear swing, seesaw, slide and spin at night on playgrounds that are sparsely lit. Working people (Homo faber) have become playing people (Homo ludens) again, returned to the place of their childhood. A work about ageing and the question of the function or freedom of elderly people.
For this video, footage from the five-channel video installation “Old Days – Young Nights” (2024) was used.
