IN BLOOD WE TRUST

The video ‘In blood we trust’ records a project that consists of a performance, a sound installation and a video presentation, presented during the Venice Biennial. The performance took place during the opening of the exhibition and consisted of a small airplane that could be controlled from a distance, throwing out dollars over the heads of the audience. The sentence ‘In God we trust’ – normally to be seen on a dollar bill – was replaced by ‘In blood we trust’. The video shows the reactions of the audience, curiously grabbing after the dollars. The next day a sound installation could be heard, implying that a great number of jets flew over the Giardini on a warpath. The report of the performance was projected onto a big screen in a space on the Biennial grounds.
