A sound mix of intelligent techno music provides rhythm for the ensemble of screens and images. A narrative subjectivity emerges out of this unexpected encounter, one with an ideological viewpoint on the world in all its contemporary complexity.” Christine van Assche, Parkett no. 57, 1999. article on work and artist from Parkett edition no. 57 .
