With the "Video Walk", the artist couple has developed an original medium for conveying history. They offer a walk through the grounds of Kassel's Kulturbahnhof with a portable media player that can be borrowed there together with headphones.
A video can be seen on the screen that makes the history of the former main station present in images and sound. Historical footage, previously filmed scenes, commentaries, sounds and music make the past of the area vivid.
When the walkers follow the video's offer of movement, they see the same place on the screen where they are in real life. When they try to reconcile the depicted events with reality while walking, a strange feeling of uncertainty and irritation arises: a slightly eerie atmosphere of simultaneity in which the levels of reality interpenetrate and past and present overlap.
