Headlines about the consequences of the economic and social crises and the current lack of solidarity seem to have lost their selling. They grab little attention in the public discourse. The second part of Elena Friedrich’s Public Land series looks at the power dynamics of the public realm, which are located between information and manipulation, control and representation. The self-reflective documentary blends audio-recordings of discussions from Athens and Madrid with a fictional narrative of a man transporting boxes of oranges to the seaside, always with the question in mind of how, in the “society of the spectacle,” alternative narratives can be created and kept alive.
