Kingdom Come: Rituals

Running time: 7'
Kingdom Come: Rituals
Production: Germany 2014

The view we get is one of non-participation, an inaccessible anomaly to any form of definition which is the precise perspective the artists want to experiment with when looking at the space and surroundings of what signifies the German political centre, at political geography and urban landscapes of power. KINGDOM COME was initiated by the artists’ discovery of pigeon photography: a method used mainly during World War I in the field of what would nowadays be called ‘unmanned reconnaissance’.
