The work is accompanied by a leaflet describing the process of creating the artwork. Only 50 of the 300 copies have been issued with a signed label.

The series of works is based on a work of art that Katharina Grosse created in 2001 in the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, a wall painted and sprayed on both sides with a side length of 12,5 x 14,5m. The work was deconstructed by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Retrograde Strategien together with students from the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee and reworked into multiples in the form of head and reading aids.
