Concept "Comet in a Water Glass"

We like to be enchanted by the montage of images in the cinema. The moment we send doubts out of the room as to whether and how the cinematic image here depicts reality in front of the camera, we immerse ourselves in cinematic reality. Here it is possible to jump from one place to another, day to night, to see faces blur into one another, to feel the breeze of passing years, to experience cause and effect casually reversed. In short: to see in a way we are not used to outside the cinema. And already one or the other perspective from the cinema slips into our vision of the outside, lets us go backwards in the traces of the day, repeat things anew or let them drag.
