​​In ‘Goldflames Out in the Sky’, we see a female punk, dressed in glam-rock attire, standing atop the Flak Tower (a Viennese anti-aircraft tower from World War II). The fast-paced, energetic imagery is accompanied by the self-produced song ‘Goldflames’, as the androgynous female punk breathes fire, marking the shift from day to night. Perched on the edge of this monumental structure, the fire-breathing figure becomes part of a dreamlike vision, enhanced by kaleidoscopic editing, turning the occupation of the Flak Tower into a powerful act of political resistance.
