„Go! You go!“
video, 12 min, 2017

The film "Go! You go!" is about two particularly busy shopping streets in Accra and London, which (not coincidentally) have the same names: Oxford and Commercial Street.

The video shows details of street life in London, the camera is often pointed at the ground. Very rarely, in glimpses, there are also images from Accra. The soundtrack, on the other hand, was recorded almost exclusively in the two streets of Accra. Images, sounds and passers-by intermingle, different realities of urban and commercial life in West Africa and Europe meet.
