The Stairway at St.Paul's documents a performance by Jeroen Offerman. It plays with the notion that in the 60-ies and 70-ies certain rock and roll recordings were supposed to contain hidden 'evil' or 'Satanic' messages when they were played backwards. One of the most famous examples is Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven".Offerman practiced for three months to perfectly learn to sing this song and its words backwards . After that he went to the St. Paul's Cathedral in London, a place frequently visited by tourists, to sing it in front of the stairway that lead up to the entrance. The [VID] Video is a live-registration of this event but the tape is reversed (it plays from end to start) so that the song and its words sound normal again. The movements of the artists and the people surrounding him are therefore backward again.
