As part of the workshops, between February and June 1999 fourteen video interviews,  with two participants from each workshop, were also conducted by Heinz Nigg (camera Christoph Burkhard). The interviews lasted between one and two hours. In contrast to audio tapes, video footage enables the inclusion of facial expressions and gestures which emphasise the living qualities of biographical interviews and are particularly suitable for presentations to groups and as exhibits in exhibitions. The interviews with adults are accompanied by a portrait of children.
