As an additional part of her artistic work I am looking at Silicon Valley – Silicon Valley is looking at Me, Mareike Foecking has produced photographic videos – as a reaction to the closure of museums – in which she talks to some of the protagonists of her photographic work and her travel diary about the pictures taken in Silicon Valley and thus decodes them.
In the resulting videos, the people portrayed come to life, and at the same time it is shown how different places can be experienced, but also how images of that place can be read differently and filled with content.

In the second part of the series, Mareike Foecking talks with Jamis MacNiven, founder of Buck’s of Woodside, Silicon Valley’s iconic restaurant. Some of the most influential tech deals are done at this venture capitalist hangout.
