Video by Gilles Aubry for The Urban Cultures of Global Prayers Exhibition, NGBK Gallery, Berlin, 12.11.2011 – 8.1.2012.

Aubry’s video Pluie de feu (Rain of Fire) offers a visceral exploration of spiritual ecstasy and sonic power within the Libambu Ministry Church in Kinshasa. This ‘movie without pictures’ documents an evangelization campain in the city space. Aubry’s microphone moves beyond simple observation to highlight the “soul amplification” of the worshippers, where the sheer physical force of noise becomes a medium for the supernatural.
