Festivals
club: "Sarkans"
Stabu Street 10 The video work
of Gob Squad "Where Do You Want To Go To Die?" will
be shown in the club. The conversation meanders from one topic to another, referring to buildings, pop-trivia, directions, travel snacks and personal anecdotes. Next appears the image of a speeding road, the room has now become a virtual vehicle and the viewers are silent passengers in a private and ominous journey. Out of the banal conversation a voice asks the driver to stop. The van pulls up, the door slides open and a passenger appears in the glare of the headlights, where with reckless abandon, they perform a parting gesture. Eventually the van pulls back, abandoning the passenger in a fading image. Where Do
You Want To Go To Die? is a video installation that lasts
1 hour. Locations ranging from the iconic Brandenburg Gate to an industrial
wasteland, from the shiny terraces of "New Berlin" to a
multinational petrol station become dynamic backdrops to 8 bizarre
images celebrating surrender, personal wakes and parting gestures.
