Lebenswelt
 
Lebenswelt


Elias Brossoise

Mexico
2010 | Digital | 0:30:00

A Nahua woman and a group of local mixed blood people who feel threatened by her presence, Subcomandante Marcos invoking voices from the past, a Japanese archaeologist looking for traces of the Aztecs, a murdered girl's funeral procession, the garbage dump of Tlatel in Chimalhuacán as the backdrop. 'Lebenswelt' is an exploration of our lives permanently colonized by instrumental reason in a world that is dealt to us a priori, conformed by limits that cannot be transcended and where unjustifiable powers get legitimized.
