Aerial Reconnaissance Berlin documents a series of investigations carried out in/on the Berlin by Anthony Auerbach for the International Necronautical Society (INS) Inspectorate. The dossier displays the results of five aerial surveys alongside a wealth of collateral material: on the aptitude of aerial photography for necronautical research, on Berlin and its neurosis. Auerbach explains how the target sites were identified according to the INS’s central concerns: marking and erasure, transit and transmission, cryptography and death, and highlights the configurations that would merit further analysis: death and air, counting and telling, failed revolutions and empty tombs.
The dossier is to be appended to INS General Secretary Tom McCarthy’s forthcoming report to the International Necronautical Society Berlin: World Capital of Death.
