Paul Pfeiffer: The Saints

Published on the occasion of Paul Pfeiffer's exhibition "The Saints" at Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart in Berlin, October 10, 2009 – March 28, 2010.

Paul Pfeiffer's ground-breaking video and sculpture works explore the power of image culture and reflect how images are made. The centerpiece of this catalog is Pfeiffer's sound and video installation The Saints, a restaging of the legendary 1966 World Cup final between West Germany and England in London's Wembley Stadium. Pfeiffer hired 1,000 Filipinos who gathered in a movie theater in Manila, where they cheered in accompaniment to a re-staging of the 1966 match, based on original film and sound materials.
