Park Fiction - the wishes will leave the apartment and take to the streets / by Margit Czenki
The paradisiacal abundance of an Arabian garden. Lush oranges glow from deep green. An ultramarine blue arcade. Promising voiceover above dreaming heads. "The wishes will leave the apartment and put an end to the realm of boredom, the administration of misery." Margit Czenki shows the struggle that is cleverly waged from a position of inferiority, staging in rich colors the dazzling ideas for a park on the edge of the harbor that St. Paulians are pushing through against a multi-million dollar construction project. A film collage about a park that characterizes Hamburg's cityscape today but did not exist in 1999, about art & politics, about nomadic warfare, about oscillating desires. About the city and what it could be. About very different people and the power of a group that works together for a long time and produces ideas.
