The animal leans the head on the bars of the run. For the last time, the chicken lifts its head and opens its beak. Small pests crawl on and around the eye socket. Halfway through the video, the chicken collapses and body fluids flow out of its beak. The flow slows down to a steady drip. The head is now bent forward and rests on a piece of green grille of the chicken coop. - Joost Zwagerman (1963-2015)

Museums won't put their art collection in the garbage because they have taken care long enough. With public art works however, especially in the Netherlands, it seems a normal practice. Lots of art in public space is just being destroyed. In this research project young artists video-registered what factors and actors determine the fate of cultural heritage.They implicitly outline the contours of a new vulnerable generation in a hardened politicized artistic climate. This group of artists managed to play a crucial role of significance.

In 1957 the Russian Sputnik brought covid-19 into orbit, where it circled around over time. Recently it made its way back to earth but decisively sent back into space once more. It is a hoax, criticism on conspiracy thinking, or just a fantasy? The film was produced within the project 'The World After' by de Oude Kerk in Amsterdam.
