An intimate and daring confrontation with a text by Konrad Bayer. He saw that suicide was the ultimate consequence of his logic of contradiction. This conflict lives on in the virtuosity and metamorphosis of actor Adolfo Assor. His roles — oscillating between insanity and irony, happiness and despair — are mirrored in a artificial imagery. In their absurd beauty the pictures extrapolate the clarity of the text in all its contradictions. The contra- punctal montage, with self-critique and irony, leads beyond the text. Work and reflecting on meaning: a "contradictio in se?" - to keep this balance means to survive.
