a “reenactment” of something
that has never happened
but was planned and prepared
in the smallest detail:
a 1:1 replica appears as a time capsule
of a terminated past. at a time when the future
is about to be completely closed off to the public.
the viewer embarks on a ‘last tour’; a hot-air
balloon flight over the Swiss Alps.
this type of activity having been relegated
to the realm of free time.
