In 1492, a traveler from space comes crashing down outside the town of Ensisheim. King Maximilian I declares the event a good omen for his war campaign. Poet and propagandist Sebastian Brandt produces illustrated leaflets depicting the impact of the meteorite and spreads them throughout Europe. Albrecht Dürer is painting the crash in a hidden place. These individuals are living in a world shifting nervously in space.
Germany is divided and the Ochsenkopf mountain serves as the main West German transmitter. The regions unable to receive the western broadcast are dubbed “valley of the clueless”. Three East German born youths grow up to form the core trio of the Neo-Nazi terror cell NSU. The cell gets uncovered in 2011 and their “confessional” video featuring the Pink Panther starts circulating soon after.
Two of the three core members die in a gas explosion inside a camper van. The van is being towed up a ramp onto a truck, all things inside shift backwards, there is no forensic evidence left to dissect. The supporting network of the cell remains largely intact, the demands of the murder victims’ families remain largely unheard.
Visuals are turning, meteorites and panthers are made to speak, and words want to shape images.
