Above the Crocodiles

Sonia Leimer`s video work Above the Crocodiles is based on archival footage recorded in 2002 by two Russian astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The filmic gaze from space onto various territories of Earth moves in a contingent search, brushing against geographical, ecological, and political contexts – conflict zones as well as everyday occurrences, casually commented on by the astronauts.
