Film material from the colonial era in Togo is screened in public at the locations where it was shot. What does it tell, what does it conceal? A painful confrontation with German history.
Shortly before the First World War, the German “Africa explorer” and film director Hans Schomburgk embarked on an unprecedented film expedition to West Africa to shoot adventure and documentary films in the exotic setting in the north of the then-German colony of Togo. To this day, his films remain virtually unknown in Togo.
More than a century later, guided by the report of actress Meg Gehrts, we travel with a mobile cinema to the original locations of Schomburgk's film adventures. Together with Togolese viewers, we want to question the film images regarding their historical background and the effects of colonialism. What do they show? And what do they conceal about Togoland, which at the time was praised as the “model colony” of the German Empire?
Universe Department Store existed in Cheonho-dong, Seoul in the 1980s. There was a spaceship ride in front that unfolded a vast universe for me when I rode it.

In order to solve this lingering question, I began to dig into my memories of the Universe Department Store and the places from my childhood.
