 Für ein Leben nach dem Tod. Generalaudienz Audienzhalle 15. Dez. 2004, 2006 The video installation For a Life after Death follows the two artists, who were accredited as journalists to the Vatican for a year. In combination with some drawings from them, a portrait of the last months in the life of Pope John Paul II took shape in a form similar to a diary. The selected scenes, on one hand, document the staging of rituals in the Catholic faith, and on the other, the artists point to the church’s implicit economy and politics relating to the media, for which the Pope himself acts as the most important politician and media star in the Vatican. Between these scenes, there are, however, also sequences with flocks of birds in flight, which, in Christian iconography, have since time immemorial symbolized souls ascending into eternity.
