deserta
In the end, the traces left behind by wartime experiences remain unknowable for those born thereafter. deserta is Christian Meyer-Landrut's attempt to get closer to his father, to understand what it might have looked like in his soul, when he had to experience the horrors of war as a 17-year old soldier on the Eastern Front.
Using fragments from his father's spoken stories and reports from his father’s brother, he approached the stories tentatively, carefully interwove them, and addressed his father directly, calling him by his name. Thus "deserta" is the result of a very personal search for clues, a movement towards the indescribable and unspoken experiences that still resonate today - deserta: desolate and empty - which is what must be overcome.
