In front of the mirrored glass facades of the empty, newly built University of Economics and Business, Scheirl, Pürrer, Bauer, and Jurtschitsch perform and repeat film takes. Dressed in theatrical costumes, they run off, only to suddenly stop as if petrified. A duel, using iron clamps as weapons, ensues between Scheirl and Pürrer, which culminates in a kiss. Drawings by Pürrer recapitulate the events. (Magdalena Steffan)
