Marcel Odenbach's video sculpture Niemand ist mehr dort, wo er anfing (No One is Where They Intend to Go) (1989/90) questions the official version of events in an earlier period of German history, through the lens of one of its most important events - the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. Video footage of East and West Germans going back and forth across the breached wall and lighting candles in celebration, shot by Odenbach in Leipzig as he witnessed the fall of the Wall, is intercut with East German protest marches, Third Reich parades, and clips from Alfred Hitchcock's wartime thriller 'Suspicion' (1941). Odenbach articulates how the utopian possibility of a reunified Germany triggered memories of the deep trauma that had torn it apart, and an uncertainty about the possible reality of a different future, whose precariousness is symbolized by the heavy TV monitor resting on a group of upturned glasses. At any moment, the weight of history and the state threatens to crush the delicate base on which it is resting.
