“So now I’ve landed here.
“A bump of flat land at the tip of England with the most beautiful and roundest pebbles in the world.
“They’re called shingles here. A cottage full of memories and ghosts, perhaps. I’m allowed to stay for 2 weeks.
“I have the cottage all to myself. The nights are cold, but I sleep a lot and warmly in the big bed made of dark wood, which is like a boat.
“I dream a lot, intensely and deeply.
“My neighbour Audry hangs new laundry on the line every day.
“It starts with 3 big, black trousers. I think: oracle!”
Created during Dagmar Brundert’s 2-week artist-in-residency at Prospect Cottage, Dungeness, UK. (Prospect Cottage is the former home and sanctuary of artist, filmmaker, gay rights activist and gardener Derek Jarman (1942 – 1994).)

“I was born in a small town in the middle of West Germany. Beautiful nature, but boring after a while … I moved to Berlin and studied visual arts / experimental film. Fell in love with my super 8 camera (Nizo) in 1988. Since then I try to be a particle-finder, a wave-catcher and a good story-teller. I try to absorb weird beautiful things from this world. Chew them and spit them out again. And now I have become a specialist for ecologically developed films and photos.”
