Anthony Auerbach’s Aerial Reconnaissance Berlin documents a series of investigations for the International Necronautical Society (INS) Inspectorate. The dossier displays the results of five aerial surveys carried out in Berlin alongside a wealth of collateral material. Auerbach explains how the target sites were identified according to the INS’s central concerns: marking and erasure, transit and transmission, cryptography and death; demonstrates the very low altitude aerial photography technique he adapted for necronautical research; and highlights the configurations that would merit further analysis: death and air, counting and telling, failed revolutions and empty tombs.

To be appended to INS General Secretary Tom McCarthy’s forthcoming Report to the INS: Berlin: World Capital of Death.
