This is an experimental animation using text referencing history (from writing by my father W.K. Buhler), the poetry of my distant cousin Gertrud Kolmar, and letters written by Kolmar to her cousin Walter Benjamin. These elements create a collage of identities spanning the 20th century, with a focus on the upheaval and migration that occurred in central Europe during this time. Poem: "Farewell" by Gertrud Kolmar, read by Jennifer Kaufmann-Buhler
