Beginning with a historical painting of an idyllic March landscape, stored in an art depot, the film moves along the border river March, which with its Austrian-Slovakian section establishes one of Austria's oldest national borders. The film poses questions about image storage, escape, and the reverberations of historical circumstances. The depot serves as a storehouse and repository of images and history, while nature constantly accumulates and stratifies. 'relièf Relief' meanders downstream along the seasons, referencing the history of escape in Iron Curtain times. It poses questions regarding hidden history as well as the overgrowth of nature and refers not least to the notion of contaminated landscape.
