A performative setting that gives space to several chinese opera gongs rotating around their own axis, producing sound. The gongs are set into motion and catched again by two performers thus controlling the sound. The lighting is also executed by the performers with the help of two headlamps used in various modi operandi. The title is referring to Sigmar Polke’s painting “Höhere Wesen befahlen: Rechte obere Ecke schwarz malen”.
