Freedome gives us a chance to express ourselves, to be creative, it let us to feel happieness, joy and love. Freedom gives us the wings to take anywhere we want. It gives possibility to reach the sky. The work “Der Himmel” depicts humans having a chance to educate , to work on high end technology living along constructed androids , speaking their minds, fulfilling the dream of flying sky and living in love. Surreal flavour gives the balance between reality and dream giving the audience an opportunity to dive into oneiric state of mind and connect with their . My creation is some kind of hommage to Wim Wenders and my favourite movie “Der Himmel über Berlin”.
