Five banners painted in oil paint on unstretched linen were marched in a series of actions in Berlin in October 2002.  Video images of the marches, looped into three separate DVDs were exhibited in Video Loop: Actions.

The same footage was included in Documents after five actions, a site specific installation in Berlin, at the Kapelle der Versöhnung, 8-22 November 2002, and Melancholia (Documents after five actions, Berlin), Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Melbourne, 7 February-1 March 2003.

The Berlin banner marches led to the development of Marches for another season, an ongoing project of banner marches in Australia initiated in 2003.
