The black fibreglass surface is alighted by theatre lights and presents a place that is normally never visible. The dimensions (500 x 500 cm) are almost the same like the artificial space in the forest that had been created by Michael Sailstorfer in his installation 'Waldputz', 2000. Here he imitates the possible surface of the dark side of the moon.
