APOCALYPSE AIRLINES is a fake commercial for a fictive airline that confronts us with our own contradictions: Everyone wants to travel, discover the world, be free, consume, although we all know the environmental consequences of air travel. Are we ready to make compromises in order to live with full responsibility? Should it be an individual or a political decision?

ASCONA shows a place that seems to have fallen out of time, that has not changed since the 1950s but still exists. A miniature golf course becomes a social analysis analogy. ASCONA shows protagonists who, with dry humour, describe the beginnings and difficulties of the course and the sport - between leisure and professional sport. Reflecting the conservatism of the 1950s, ASCONA features a cross-section of society.
