"Two monitors are placed each at the end of a seven meter long wooden dinner table, that served the banquet business of my family for 50 years. Left you see straight recordings of the sun in windstroken pine trees. The colored oscillation is the result of an automatic, mechanic interference between the sun and the recording equipment. This is altered with a recording of the moon moving towards and from the tower of the church where my parents got married."
