My film, “Blue Anamorphosis”, focuses on one stretch of blue drainage pipes located in Wedding, Berlin. I lived in this area two months previously. At that time they were absent. Upon my return in 2020 they were suddenly there, turning my familiar experience of the neighborhood to an uncanny one. Twisting, turning through the city, they stabilise the city’s foundation by siphoning ground water and dumping it into the canal. They remain illusive to many, like a twisting, shifting line drawing only accessible in small sections at a time.
