Video documentation of an installation done in dresden, germany, 2009. Painted in a 10x8m hole in the ground on the abandoned slaughterhouse area in dresden, probably the former foundation of a huge boiler plant to derive soap from rendered beef fat or other utilization of carcass. However, even 15 years after closing down, it still smells nauseating. The main slaughterhouse complex was built 1906 by Hans Erlwein, Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse Five" also takes place there and Caspar David Friedrich painted that area in 1832.
