Martin Heckmann DE, 2006, 11', 35 mm
The film combines high resolution satellite images from different parts of the world into one simulated topography. It shows a smooth, animated flight over sublime landscapes, deserted conflict areas (Afghanistan, Iraq) and topical cities (Falludja, Cairo, Los Angeles). Though it develops slowly from a “devine” to a “military” perspective. Whilst the sound scape of belgium electronic composer Yves De Mey, dramatically intensifies: tiny aircrafts crossing, and cars driving by – far below on roads and highways. But in the midst of Los Angeles things get out of control...
