2-channel video installation, 5:53 min
Scenes of two videos constantly change on two projection screens: The monstrous loading ramp of an old Siberian ferry is being noisily pulled up and down. Local passengers receive preferential treatment, so that they will not have to wait long, while those arriving from distant places often have to calculate long waiting times. The other video shows a landscape marked by horrid environmental pollution.
