Grabeland takes place in a country that no longer exists, in a culture rooted in soil and projections. Like a travelogue, the story tours the inner exiles of its characters as they test the limitations of their actual existence. Focusing on Germany and The United States, Grabeland dramatizes the formation of national identity and ultimately its dissolution through an accumulation of personal and collective experiences, anecdotes, accidents, propaganda, falsifications, histories, victimizations, inventions, dreams, and hopes.
*RIFFRAFF STAFF PICK* "Two German-American artists buy a parcel of farmland in Germany, and document their interactions with the tenants. Utterly fascinating narrative that gets at ideas of nationality and progress." -Tom
