These video and audio recordings were all made on September 27 in 2019 during one of the largest Fridays for Future demonstrations for a change in climate politics ever held in The Hague (NL). The procession was so long that the beginning and the middle and end of the procession met along the way. Three years later, after a long stand still and pandemic isolation and the war in Ukraine lasting for almost a year - these recordings appear as if from a dream. (12min total - the video loop is shorter than the sound track)

![chamber(s) for leftover ghosts]( "chamber(s) for leftover ghosts")
infoFrom a room of the former embassy of the Dem.Rep. van Congo in The Hague hear traditional music from the Congo. As soon as one enters the room, the sound disappears to the vases and teapots that are scattered in the room. If you pay attention, you can hear music from every vase and teapot... There is a jug, an instrument and a mirror... In various old-fashioned suitcases and furniture you will find recent books and publications about the Congo. The space invites the visitor to go on a journey of discovery... When you leave the room again, you hear music from the room itself again... It seems as if the remaining spirits of the former residents are celebrating in the room... But if they are disturbed they will hide in all objects that are available....
