The Sunshine Vineyard (Our Ideal Revolutionary Storm) is a performance that turns into a film set, performed by a group of students from the Städelschule in Frankfurt on the "recreational" bank side of the river Main. Waving big satin flags of the sunset’s colours, enlighten by the sun’s backlight, the action wants to recall an event addressed against the "Big Unknowns", symbolically identified as the “Sunset”, which takes place behind the banks on the other riverside. The battle against the Sunset wants to reflect on the reality of a strategy of the ignorance, adopted to investigate on how masses can be exploited as a resource, once potentially directing them towards it (The Strategy of Unknown). The whole group will exploit this theory, as an act of awareness. Performing impact actions, resembling a warʼs paradigm of chaotic-calm, they turn their gestures into personal dances, reaching a choral action of which they are authors. The Sun responds to the battle, by illuminating their bodies and flags, until leaving them in the darkness, disappearing behind the Frankfurt’s skyline. The action was shot both by the inside of the action and from the outside, resulting in two videos, which have been shown several times inside an installation constituted by a curtain - turning into the screen of the video taken from the outside, a bench with an iPad with headphones - supporting the video taken from the inside, and the original flags, used for the performance.
