The German word "nun", meaning "now" in English, means "snow" and "eyes" in Korean. This trans-lingual homonym carries significantly different meaning depending on who says it, and where. It is with this perspective that we conducted our research at Kinderbauernhof (kids’ farm) in Kreuzberg. Through the juxtaposition of archival video and a semi-fictional film from a foreigner’s perspective, we offer an alternative narrative to the site, while digging deeper into its development, memory and utopian fantasies.
