The sin­gle-chan­nel vi­deo in­stal­la­ti­on "Lip­pen­dorf" con­sists of the in­ter­play of a vi­deo se­quence and a sound com­po­si­ti­on ori­gi­na­ting from ano­ther sour­ce. Lip­pen­dorf is a li­gni­te-fired steam power plant in the south-east of Leip­zig and, with CO2 emis­si­ons of 11.1 mil­li­on ton­nes, is the power plant with the ninth hig­hest green­house gas emis­si­ons in Eu­ro­pe. The power plant is cri­ti­ci­sed for emit­ting lar­ge amounts of ni­tro­gen oxi­des, sulphur oxi­des, mer­cu­ry and fi­ne dust, to the lat­ter of which car­ci­no­ge­nic sub­stan­ces (lead, cad­mi­um, ni­ckel, PAHs, di­oxins and furans) can ad­he­re. The hea­vy me­tal emis­si­ons in par­ti­cu­lar are cle­ar­ly hig­her than com­pa­ra­ble Ger­man li­gni­te-fired power plants. Ac­cor­ding to a stu­dy com­mis­sio­ned by Green­peace from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Stutt­gart, the pollutant emis­si­ons cau­sed by 67 Ger­man co­al-fired power plants we­re re­sponsi­ble for the loss of about 33,000 years of life in Ger­ma­ny and Eu­ro­pe each ye­ar. The ar­tist tri­es to un­der­li­ne this al­most uni­ma­gin­ab­ly high fi­gu­re by showing a vi­deo of the cloud-for­ming ex­haust ga­ses from one of the coo­ling towers in com­bi­na­ti­on with a dro­n­ing sound com­po­si­ti­on, ba­sed on a field re­cor­ding of a car dri­ve. The clouds seem threa­te­n­ing and mas­si­ve and the gloo­my, de­ep rum­bling sound puts the view­er in a fee­ling of un­cer­tain­ty.
