THE END OF SOMETHING

In the last summer before the corona pandemic, a techno-religious spectacle unfolds underneath the Eiffel Tower – a touristic ritual of life to those who came before, to those who will come in the future, and to those who are present now.

A final fireworks display in the summer sky of late capitalism, with promises of romantic love & eternal beauty. A daydream of mass tourism – the blessing and curse of Paris.
