In 2006, during our stay in Kenya in the framework of the Group-exhibition<br />

“Economy Class” at the Alliance Francaise in Nairobi (http://economyclass.<br />

sonance.net/) we managed to establish a very productive cooperation with the<br />

artists and photographers Sam Hopkins, Fred Otieno and Julius Mwelu. Together<br />

we documented and realised Lukas Pusch’s Performance “Vienna Voodoo”,<br />

which was done in Mathare. Mathare is the biggest slum in Kenya with<br />

approximately 700 000 inhabitants without electricity, running water and a<br />

sewage system. During our filming, Fred and Julius told us about the premiere<br />

of a German documentary movie for which they had done the camera work two<br />

years earlier. Suddenly they became sad and thought that this is odd because<br />

approximately one third of the people appearing in the film, have died in the<br />

meantime; and the movie is their only memory.<br />
