Following the all too mortal fascination with death and decay, the Austrian artists Georg Hobmeier and Reinhold Bidner leave their basements and travel to their own past lifes in Scotland. Equipped with pen, paper and 3D camera they revisit the grimest corners these high and low lands have to offer.

#8 the wrong sign
In the beginning of "Die Hard: With a Vengance" the hero is being forced to carry a rather racist sign through wrong area. Some friends of our adventurers suggested a similar thing. This would result in "being proper beaten to death, not just comically injured" (Ruth Marsh). Incredible, what the right thing in the right location can do. This right spot would be somewhere in eastern Glasgow, a merry neighbourhood with a male life expectancy of 58.
Obviously there is place for improvement here. If you want to do this yourself, please make it much larger. Also, hold it over your head and attract the attention of the local population. If you want to take it all the way down into hell: please jump up and down and shout these lines:
When I see the Celtic, All I see are Neds
they just cant get enough they just cant get enough
burberry hats ,, scarfs and gloves
oh they just cant seem to get enough of...
bur bur bur bur burberry bur bur bur bur bur bur burberry.
There is plenty of space for musical improvisation, when you think shouting is too crude. Maybe give it some wagnerian flavour, for once the local Neds see you, it will be only a matter of minute before you are uncomically cut into pieces with razors.
