This is a direct, responsive video that travels through media and the alternate histories of Crane's journey to Berlin during 2009.
Twenty-one years ago the Berlin Wall fell, giving birth to the reunification of contemporary Germany. During her 2009 residency in Berlin, Crane was confronted by the remnants of its war torn history and by the new identity of Berlin that had sprung forth since the collapse of the infamous Wall. Crane spent a month in this moving, dynamic and energetic city, traversing daily through the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Cathedral, the Reichstag, the Jewish Museum and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. With each daily journey into the city via these historic beacons, the universal ramifications of war echoed loudly to Crane.
So moved by her Berlin experience that Crane utterly changed her artistic practice, moving into the fluidity of video and also enlisting the genius of German composer Professor Andreas Herrmann, to develop echo Nacht -- night Echoes to its full potency.
Crane eloquently fuses the past, present, ready-made and online collaboration together in this video by delivering an haunting and playful comment on the futility of human conflict.
This piece is an extended version from her solo show in Canberra as well as a three screen projection at Melbourne Propaganda Window both screened during 2010.
This work will be viewed in the town of Eltham in New Zealand's north island for 'The Longest Night Film Festival'.
