Wo ist Ida (2023)

Overview

Ida strolls down the Donaukanal in Biedermeier dresses and hip sunglasses. At the age of fourty-four, she leaves behind her life as a housewife to follow her urge to see the world. Starting from historical travelogues, simulated archive material, and playful anachronisms, collages, and animations, Wo ist Ida tells fragments of what Ida Pfeiffer might have seen and experienced when she became the first woman to travel alone around the world in the 1840s and 1850s.
