A documentation of a research project. After my first encountering with the altar at the Pergomon museum in Berlin, 1997, I returned 10 years later to the ancient city of Pergamon Acropolis in Turkey, 2007. I went there to be part of and present on the remains of the ancient altar. I took a few self portraits and I recorded the sound near the tree in centre of the spot,I could hear the stieglitz birds over my head and around me. The altar has become my exile-dream. Today the place is an archeological site. The monumental frieze is on display at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, reconstructed in a scale of 1:1.
