Composition consists of 18 carefully directed scenes forming a narrative sequence, and triggering associations in the spectator that point in the direction of a love story. The work begins with the sound of a letter being written. Someone knocks on a door, footsteps can be heard, bottles of champagne are opened, a camera is adjusted and the shutter is pressed, a clock is ticking, and a thunder storm makes itself heard along with other sounds from the outside: the twitter of birds, whistling, and cars. These and other incidents are spiced up with a cinematic style of music that alternates between suspense, romance and anxiety. Limited edition of 250 signed and numbered by the artists.
