![]() The whole spectacle was truly amazing, paralleling the scale of a Wagner performance, extravagant, bombastic, amazing. A peacefulness that maybe somehow resembles a very modern and chemical sort of death. And then slowly, the meditation phase, a very pleasant but slightly evil peacefulness settles in. There were beds layed out so that one could lie down, look up, drift off and ask oneself some serious, ‘what is the meaning of life?’ questions. It was performed in such a large area, but very quiet, it was truly incredible. The CargoLifter Ag hall was rented out for two days from the Masse und Macht (Mass and Power) group and the Sophiensaele for an interpretation for a 5 hour + long Morton Feldman piece. You have the feeling being in a very modern ghost town. The bankrupt CargoLifter Ag never built a Zepplin let alone never really worked at all. A tent, which was built to build zepplins, which for example could transport turbines from Germany to India. But what else do you expect standing in an arena, well actually a really big tent – 350 meters long, 230 meters wide and 110 meters tall. And that was apparantly the idea behind the poster and the event – misunderstanding, misbelieve, creativity and chaos. One of the most terrible things I have seen was the poster for it, which after very long examination, I still didn’t understand what the whole event was all about. And this space is incredibly big, is very empty and has never been used and you just cannot believe it. This space cost millions and millions and millions of shareholders capital and was sparked off by the simple yet but very complex concept of flying. ![]() Picture this you are standing In a space, which is probably one on the most largest, modern and well designed constructions you have ever seen. Unfortunately the whole event and concept was just all too much to explain here. During the bus trip out we were shown a video which primed us for what was to come, an extremely impressive series of juxtapostions of questions, answers and statements about business, money, power and creativity. Probably one of the most incredible things I have ever seen, definitely future city ala Tokyo style, was the CargoLifter Ag Arena in Breisen-Brand, a 45-minute drive from Berlin. Berlin-based CargoLifter AG plans to build 50 airships in the next decade in two enormous hangars - one already built in Brand, Germany, the other planned.
