KOLLEKTIVNYE DEYSTVIYA (COLLECTIVE ACTIONS). THE DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL THE ACTIONS, Photo and Video

JOURNEYS TO THE COUNTRYSIDE. VOLUME THIRTEEN

1204 (141). SUMMA

A circle of purple fabric, 5 meters in diameter and with the number 1204 printed in white paint (the sum of the action numbers of the CA actions that were carried out in this place + the number of the action itself – 141), was spread out with the number facing up on the Nina Hagen clearing (a wide "gas" clearing running parallel to the "electic" Heidegger clearing), which connects the Kievogorsky Field to the "Field of the Polar Explorers" in the south-easterly direction.

After which, a drone carrying a GoPro video camera was launched above the circle and rose to a height of 105 meters, video taping the circle and the action's participants around it (the low height to which the drone rose is most likely explained by the fact that the Sheremetyevo airfield is located not far from the Kievogorsky Field, and drones are programmed to limit the flight altitude around airfields).

Then, the video recorded by the drone was watched by the participants on a laptop that had been brought along.

The factography that was presented to the viewer-participants consisted of a laminated fragment of a map of Kievogorsky Field with numbered circles for the CA actions that had been carried out in the spot where the 1204 circle was located (These were #98 – The Action with Clocks (04/19/2003); #99 – Slogan-2003; #105 – Slogan 2005; #108 – K; #111 – The Library-2007; #131 – Translation-4; #134 – Wintering in the Ground at Heidegger's Clearing; #137 – The Underground Five-Year Plan (08/26/2004); #140 – Kashchei the Immortal of Collective Actions (02/12/2015); #141 – SUMMA.

(In the General List of CA Actions, this first action of the 13th volume of Trips Out of the City, is given the number 1204 (141)).
