documented in a 5min-video, with the same title
On a december evening I reveal the security area of
the Leipzig US-consulate by incident floodlight. For
two policewomen it needs more than one hour to ban
me from doing this.
My action inverts the status of observer and broaches
the issue of the fragile construction of threat terms.
I responded the question, why I’ve done this: I wanted
to make this a safer place! The policewomen react with
incomprehension and confiscate the records of one camera
impatiently.
