Edition of 3, 1 AP; A helicopter lifts an industrially produced neon sign several meters above the ground, and stays hovering in the air. The glowing white letters are strung together on a steel lattice structure without any pause. Due to inertia and the wind from the rotors, axis rotation develops. The letters are switched on and off in a controlled rhythm, which gives rise to anagrams with combinations of new words and meanings, or to eradication of the entires entence: DEVIL IS MY MOTOR - LIVE IS MY MOTOR - MY LIVE IS VIDEO - VIDEO IS EVIL, etc. This “performance” for a static video camera takes place at night on an airfield.
