video projection: future, imagination level Anna stands at a crossroads in China Town. She is holding a glass with plastic fish in her hand and looks over her shoulder back at the neon sign of a shop. This is flashing at regular intervals: „I’ll drive you around“ – „In a star’s car“ – „Anna“ – „I’ll drive you around“ – … The outside space is just a photo of China Town, the neon sign a video animation. Anna stands in the bluebox.

Slide: Present, reality: A bathroom. The water in the bathtub is still let in – plastic fish swim in the tub with their stomach up. The window is open, Anna is no longer there.

Television: Past, memory, imaginary level. A looped moment of happiness: A laughing child looks over the edge of a red rubber boat. The boat comes closer in slow motion and moves away again. This sequence of about 6 seconds is constantly repeated, creating an eternal rocking.
