A dream of thoroughly purple figures was followed a few days later by the discovery of an equally completely red plastic figure. On its back: the inscription GEMCO. The figure was scanned and photographed. Then I lay down directly on the photo prints made from the scans and peeled my outline into it with the scalpel. It is an attempt to connect image and "reality", inner and outer sphere.
