A large circular stage with three floors revolves slowly. Some thirty ageing rock stars are lying down amongst their instruments and amplifiers, and they are exhausted. Koen Theys (b. 1963, Brussels) used a model, which is on display here as well, to prepare the video installation. Koen Theys took three large-scale panorama photos during an actual performance in ‘t Kuipke velodrome. He reduces the absurdity of the original spectacle down to a serene overview.
