To the superficial idyll of modern house fronts with balconies and stretched parasols reaches the frightening sound of approaching aircraft and the hiss of falling bombs. From the detail the picture panned to the whole, the balconies become small elements of an ornamental surface, which changes with the noises. Lashing sounds accompany the change, the house front becomes a depressing vision, at the same time, the accentuation on individual elements and the constant change in the surface reflects the artists special interest in the graphic quality of the representation.
