159 capitalism, scHizopHrenia, and #Vanlife was that I didn’t want to make a classic political film. I wanted to break with that tradition a little bit’” (Weingart ner qtd. in Leal 2012, 124). The problem with Heimweh, and the way nostalgia is too of- ten conceptualized, is that the personal does not tend to be po- litical but rather remains individual. Memories tend to be one’s own personal memories, of the house one grew up in, the school one went to, etc. It is here that the post-memory of visual culture has made an impact, especially via social media. The privileged generations born in the aftermath of the summer of love may not have any personal memories of it, but not only are they well aware of its style, they seem happy to have at least the chance to buy into it. Weingart ner’s oeuvre encourages us to ask what kind of futures that forecloses, and what kinds it makes possible.
