On the highest point of the small East German town of Artern stands a FMT8 radio mast. Called - The Tall Harald - after the towns first post-reunification mayor. Both were Western imports. The mast is still a symbol, but then the image tips over.
FMT 8 is an experimental photo film about authoritarian thinking and the symbolism of technical structures. The film assembles photographs from several eastern German states, which are set in motion through serial image sequences and match cuts.
