Original photographs show scenes, taken of a television screen, from the genres of thriller, cartoon, culture, nature, sports, advertising, sex film, news, and science fiction. Paging through the accordion is reminiscent of channel surfing through television programs. Friederike Mayröcker’s text “Bildlegende zu einem absurden Puppentheater” [Caption for an Absurd Puppet Theater] is treated as a caption and placed along the bottom edge of the photographs.
