This installation needed the WE in order to BE.
At the centre of the installation stood a 3.5-metre-high tower with twenty laser projectors. These projected a coherent image, but there was no specific surface at which the devices were aimed. Instead, 300 white banners were available for visitors to take and use to capture the image – which would otherwise float freely in the air – as if on a screen. The projected motifs were assembled from historical footage taken from various archives or from material created during the workshop. One person alone could make a small part visible; when several people came together, a larger picture appeared. In this way, people were able to unite in a peaceful demonstration to remember those who courageously took to the streets in 1989 for freedom and democracy. An abstract sound collage by Adam Salman featuring sounds from 1989 – music, demonstration noises, eyewitness voices – completed the installation.
