Elke Krystufek's self portrait, from which the artist looks at us with her large expressive eyes, is flanked by a text on the right side, supplying information on the artist's mood in form of a poem: "Keeping a memory, keeping track of the lipstick and the jewellry pattern of the sick blouse. One cannot be forced to remeber valuable things. We must be equipped with a selective memory for a reason. Forever was so tired that she forgot to turn on the music." [KP].
