Wunsch zwei(2) is not about nightmares or fear, it’s about love. It’s is a tool to materialize oneself into the physical world. It’s wunschmaschinen. This short film was shot in a video-diary style between summer 2022 - fall 2024, being revamped with every other screening, exploring themes of identity, faith and mass alienation. It’s about diaspora, trans-girlhood and longing. It's about faith. It’s sort of an artistic take on what is more commonly known as “shitposting”. It’s about trivial posting of affirmations, conspiracies and jargon to conjure something into the screen and through it into reality, aiming to reproduce the shitpost phenomena in video form.
