Andreas Huber explain his choice in the following way:
"Just as you cannot explain a work of art in two or three sentences, I find it difficult to describe video work because it is very multilayered and can involve many levels of meaning.My approach in selecting works relating to the subject of solace was to concentrate on both effective and ineffective examples of consolation.
We can be carried away by love (Paolo Mezzacapo de Cenzo), enthusiasm (Susanne Bürner), and political utopian ideas – even when cynically deconstructed (Gernot Wieland). Then there is failure, which can plunge us into depression (Joep van Liefland) and existential identity crises (Diego Perrone).”
