The unfolded accordion shows a nearly life-size silhouette of a couple printed in red. Printed over it in black is Karoline von Günderode’s ballad “Don Juan”. Viewed up close, the 12-point font seems to be printed on abstract red swatches of color; the two figures are only recognizable at a greater distance.
