The video "Ruhe auf der Flucht" (Rest during the Flight), created in 2001, is based on the painting "Rest during the Flight into Egypt" by Lucas Cranach the Elder painted in 1504.

This work translates the painting into the medium of film. The action takes place in a three-dimensional model inspired by the original painting. In this context it is important to preserve the basic character of the original work while using minimal resources. Now the topic is no longer exclusively the holy family’s rest but the progress and the driven existence of three people in a landscape.

The original static picture is complemented by before and after situations, whereby the resting scene forms the longest and calmest sequence. Shed of the biblical content, the film concerns itself above all with fundamental emotional situations.
