Skyscraper and Zipper

Two bed frames pushed together are traced from bottom to top by the camera and pass over to Scheirl in a suit, panning over her. This is followed by repeated vertical pans up high-rise buildings. In between is Pürrer with a fixed gaze and extravagant jewelry. The music is by the anarcho-punk band Crass. (Magdalena Steffan)
