ince Luca (one of the co-founders of The Balloon Project) was leaving the next day. We strapped more than 30 helium balloons to a video camera and sent it up all by itself over the city some few hundred meters.

*Shortly after at 6:50 the camera flies over the Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart.
