The video was made during a study tour with the school where Koen theys and Dirk Paesmans were studying. During the night, they went with a 1000 Watt spot to the dormitory of their fellow students, and filmed their reactions to the light. Afterwards these images were put in relation with a burning cross.

“… While the image of the wooden cross is static, the images in the smaller window are more dynamic and fragmented by the use of constant zoom shots and cuts …”
