Piet Baumgartner - DRONES OVER ALL (a tribute to Pipiloti)

Artist: Piet Baumgartner 
Title: DRONES OVER ALL (a tribute to Pipiloti)

It's my homage to Pipilotti Rist's Ever Is Overall (1997). Through her, I got to know stunning worlds early on that I could not imagine. I reshot and updated one of her works. I'm replacing cars with drones, which today seem just as untouchable and promise freedom as the status symbol car used to be. The video is shot in the same colour, on the same street and with the same costume.
