Salvage by Verwandte Objekte
Five vignettes written by Jule Claudia Mahn quietly exploring memory and relationships – nuggets of earlier times wrapped in rescuing cloth of memory. The title Salvage reflects the duality in the process as both noun – something extracted as from rubbish as valuable – and verb – to recue or save.
Jule Claudia Mahn: "Why did some people leave their families, when the formerly divided Germany was reunited? Can the disappearance of an anorak cause a life-long rift between a father and a daughter? And how lonesome is a goldfish in a cellar?
"Our interactions are mysterious."
