"Threshold to the Kingdom"Video by Mark Wallinger For "Threshold to the Kingdom", first shown at the Venice Biennale in 2001, Wallinger simply took his camera to the arrivals gate at a London airport and filmed travellers at the moment they are entering the UK. Filmed in slow motion, the video is silent except for Allegri's Miserere, a setting of the 51st psalm ("Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness/In your compassion blot out my offence"), which for centuries was sung only in the Sistine Chapel.
