Angelus Novus addressed the socio-political issues that can be seen on the face of the city. A collective walking backward performance was realized, based on having the past in front and the future behind. It opened with Walter Benjamin's text on Angel of History and Paul Klee's painting 'Angelus Novus'.

‘The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.’
