The video is both a lament and a celebration. It is also an happening, performance or intervention because these men were here as participants of a tour. The men walk with the stunning backdrop of mountainous south island New Zealand beyond. The pace matches the rhythm of a traditional Shaker hymn on loss and one's place in the universe. Where is this throne of God? The here and now? The future? Or perhaps an ideal place where diversity reigns.
