A TV sits in a room; a light switch is located next to it. There is no picture to be seen on the set and no sound to be heard. When someone presses the button, a picture can be seen and a text heard as long as the button remains depressed.
The person on the TV screen recites an endless text; as soon as it ends, it immediately starts from the beginning again. Each sentence of the text segues immediately into the next one without a transitional pause in between; the next sentence seizes upon the previous one and, in this way, modifies its meaning. With each word he speaks, the person is standing at another spot within the room. In the background, a picture is visible in which a person is collapsing in slow motion.
