“What’s it all about?” asks video artist Manuela Hartel in her video portraits, which she produced as an artist in residence in Evangelical Lutheran parishes near Nuremberg. The interviews that she conducted with church members over several weeks deal with their personal relationship with the faith and the church. Respondents each nominated other people who they contacted for the portrait series. A connecting network of very personal stories has emerged. Excerpts from the video portraits were exhibited in the churches. All portraits are accessible online at www.zwischenspiel-eckental.de.
