In a figurative sense, “Bond Constraint Parameters” stands for the unspoken rules and conditions that define our relationships with other people, things, or their environment. They are the factors that determine the strength, flexibility, and limits of these bonds – whether in interpersonal relationships, belonging to social groups, or in emotional entanglements. Just as certain parameters in a physical system restrict freedom of movement, societal norms, expectations, personal fears, or past experiences act as constraints in our relationships. Such invisible “parameters” that shape our interpersonal dynamics are at the core of this year’s Monitoring exhibition as part of the 41st Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival.
