This work is part of "Love songs for times of crisis" a series of installations made of camouflaged song lyrics on extracted and enlarged images from banknotes of various countries. This particular piece presents the doors shown on the €200 bill, and the lyrics of the opening number from the musical “Cabaret”, made using a technique similar to that used in entomology. In addition, the dimensions of the work play with the idea of the shown open door that, along with the words, seems to welcome the viewer to a veiled space for evasion.
