At the train station, I borrow a lighter from a girl. We’re the only ones waiting for the train, isolated from the rest of the city by a single lamppost. I tell her that I’m looking for young people, and she laughs. "They’re all gone. It’s only elderly and unemployed people who live here," she says. In the time of the GDR, Weißwasser was a flourishing city. The mining industry and the glass factory made the city grow; children played on the newly pawed boulevard. After the reunification, the city changed. Industry had to close due to political changes, and the unemployment rates exploded. People began to leave. This project explores the experiences of Weißwasser’s young people, living in a place where many go away.
