The starting point for this video was a tragedy that took place in 1996 in the city of Dniprodzerzhynsk (now Kamianske). A KTM-5 tram running along the № 2а route suffered a breaking system failure on a steep slope, resulting in the deaths of 34 people, with more than 100 people injured. The story inspired the artists to conduct an ‘investigation’.

This video piece documents their arrival at the tragedy’s location. Their aim was to take photos, but the director of the tramline depot did not grant them access. The video documents the brief discussion with the director and moments of reenactment.
