It is an imaginary reconstruction based on a film by the Lumière brothers, "Pillow Fight" (cat. 960) paying homage to the film pioneers. The work is created out of his fascination for contrasts, i.e. sculpture and movement, fiction and reality, colour and black & white. It is a tribute to film ast the ultimate means of escape from time.
