In Karen Russo’s films, bodies, landscapes and buildings, and matter and memory, constantly interact and merge: Sinkholes (2025), is set in a world where rain has ceased, transforming the real receding landscapes of the Dead Sea into a vision of humanity searching for water amid the ruins of its own making. Blending documentary and speculative fiction, she explores the ways in which histories are altered and re-written and how knowledge, perception, and culture intertwine the rational with the obscure. Junkerhaus is filmed in Karl Junker’s house, where woodwork, light and texture create an immersive, psychological, organic environment.
