 In a ceremony organized by Matthias Einhoff, various local societies come together on the »Sand« market place, having been invited to use their participation as a public platform for expressing opinions and making themselves known to the public. They are given the kind of grand display normally reserved for the staging of major state or sporting occasions: the society’s flag is hoisted, its anthem sung, messages are delivered from a stand in the form of large-scale composite posters. The same is true of the »documentary« made for later showing: the movements of cameras mounted on cranes underline the importance attached to the event.
The Ceremony was developed as part of the exhibition ‘Harburger Berge’ at the art association Harburger Bahnhzof, 2009. Curatted by Britta Peters and Tim Voss. The documentary was displayed in various local shops .
