De-
Escalation

(2006)
The 1st may in Berlin is well known for it`s riots, that happen at pretty much the same spots every year.
Knowing a good one Richard Wilhelmer, Julius von Bismarck, Linda Kuhn, Björn Gerling and Daniel Etessami set up a video camera and a beamer in an apartment above the infamous “Oranien Street”.

Luckily the riots really happened to enflame in this street so we filmed and live-projected it onto the facades opposite of the prepared apartment.

Both, police as well as demonstrants were captured, screened and greatly to be seen by everybody live.
