an extensive photo, sound and video documentation including the creation of a print, a performance with musicians, a 3D matrix of a virtual printing block as
well as the composition Hesustains by the Japanese musician Endo Takumi who succeeded with this work
to elevate the audible part of the creation of the printing plate to a new level of perception.
