The project looked at the whole story of Herman Potocnik Noordung and the correlated history to ultimately have a different view in the form of our own, more entertaining, version of the legend. [...] The project illustrates itself physically as a critical manifesto of mass tourism: a pilgrimage which dissolves KSEVT’s compressed history of Potocnik, and guides the visitor throughout various sites in Vitanje.

​

The final destination of the pilgrimage is the existing bench at the popular viewing point on hill slope above Vitanje, where he finds an installation, a shiny object abstractly placed in the landscape that holds the caption to the view towards Vitanje with KSEVT and reads “buy your own critical distance at the KSEVT bookshop”. After some critical reflection and upon return, visitor can buy at KSEVT an artifact of memorabilia, a 30 cm long bras bar with engraved inscription “critical distance = 300 m” and “scale 1:1000”.
