It looks like found footage, filmed long ago: six seconds of a girl skating. Six seconds of innocence, as Moritz himself calls it. But he has not left this material undisturbed; it is manipulated and affected so that only shreds of the innocence remain. To the pumping rhythm of the music, the girl is covered and fragmented, again and again she reappears and disappears once more, so that you never really get to see her properly. Moritz has made her intangible and thus gives space to our own fantasies.

– Lies Holtrop
