Lynne Marsh's videos and installations often examine spaces of loaded cultural significance, in this case Plänterwald park, Berlin, a former GDR amusement park built in 1969 and abandoned after German re-unification. Here the video is presented as part of an installation that complements the obsolescent strangeness documented in the work's sound and images: a utilitarian-style bench and a projection screen reminiscent of a bygone drive-in theatre -. According to Marsh, " "Plänterwald" explores a world held together by an internal logic and quietly, yet relentlessly - like the defunct roller-coaster - echoes the potentially explosive rumbles of deep social and political fault lines."
