three meters long speaker hung on a wall hides seven small speakers each playing different cover version of David Bowie’s song "Heroes" recorded in 1977 and covered in wide range of genres by more than forty artists

original version is not present in the installation

in two minutes loop all seven tracks more or less meet at one point to sing the main refrain they all share
as closer to the speaker as better to hear each cover separately and vice-versa

silver sewed logotype "HEROES" corresponds to the typography of original EP layout

pictures on the wall in this video are not part of the installation

exhibited at Nonstop Workshop, 11—13/07/2008 Castle Letovice, Czech Republic

documentation by Michal Šeba and Pash*
