In the installation, three identical vertical panoramas of Belgrade are projected with 7-second delay side-by-side in the room. Some of the buildings and sites that come into view are of historical and/or national importance. Other locations include improvised suburban colonies, concrete residential conglomerations of New Belgrade, obscure underground passages, remnants of the 1999 air strikes, floating habitats, refugee settlements, graveyards, etc. The soundtrack for the installation is created by striking each of the 88 keys on a grand piano in 60-second intervals.
