T-Square

Heike Baranowsky captures situations in Chinese everyday life, as in her sixteen-minute film projection T Square (2006), which she made together with Waszem Khan (camera: Volker Gläser). The film operates with a hardly perceptible and slow and regular zoom in on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, where the evening ritual of lowering the state flag is in pro- gress. The transition from a city panorama to the action at this historically and politically charged location is accompa- nied by a change in atmosphere, both through the onset of darkness and a shift in perception from mere viewing to ob- serving.
