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 />

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 />

approximately one third of the people appearing in the film, have died in the<br />
meantime; and the movie is their only memory.<br />
