Inland Archiv

2004
PAL, 4:3, Colour, Sound, 10 Parts, 15'

“Inland Archive is the work of an artist who set out to discover the world, only to realize that his own, viewed with the same sensitized gaze, also contains the vastness of the foreign, but a foreign that is in your bones. What the sharpened perception brings into the archive are small, uncommented scenes, images from a semantic endless loop that only ever mean themselves and in total: Switzerland. Busslinger's shots are simple and unpretentious, yet they evoke the feeling of being right at the center of what is ambivalently perceived as home.” Michèle Binswanger, film critic, Basler Magazin BAZ 2002
