New Beginnings

Isabelle Ingold & Vivianne Perelmuter & 87' — 2025

From the California coast to Kansas City, a Native American sets off on a long journey across the US to meet up with the men he fought alongside in the Vietnam War. He hasn’t seen them since.
Taking the pioneers’ route but in reverse, he seems to go back in time… of American history as well as his life. Tying up the losse ends of it or freeing one self from a burden… what to do with the past, with History?
Find your own way through its relics.
