Walking from Kassel to Athens in 2017, performance artist Marinka Limat is collecting encounters. Involving people she never met before. Certain encounters do not work, others are missed, and sometimes avoiding an encounter is the better option.
Learning from the in-between of the two documenta-14’s capitals, the artist is unfolding her practise of encountering in front of our eyes.

Une ?
October, 18
Une chose est sûre: je pars à la rencontre de la rencontre.
“This film’s dramaturgy is shaped by the road, its music by the rhythm of her walk, its minor dramas by the stumbling, fallible and incredibly human moments of the encounters.”
Gergely Nagy
“Not only did an ephemeral art of encounter gradually emerge during the filming, but the audience as well becomes part of this art while watching.”
Regula Saner
“Some episodes you would like to listen for longer. But this documentary essay is all about the brief and elusive, but nevertheless memorable encounters of a passing by.”
Céline Graf
"This film is a counter project:
It shows how dialog can work against crises. Immediate. Unplannable. Unpredictable. Direct."
