A digital western based on a Wikipedia article by the Flussmartin family*. A road trip as a methaphor for an ongoing research with detours and a non-linear timeline. Through subsequently synchronised sound recordings, a conversation about power is woven, which is fed by money and influence, but also by historical sovereignty and symbolism. Who makes history and who does it serve? Can we change the future by reinterpreting the past? And who are “we”?
