Aufzeichnen (Recording) incorporates both video and drawings to playfully reflect the pieces own making. On a monitor are headshots of 27 people for 2 minutes each drawing the camera that is recording them. These pencil drawings are displayed across from the monitor so that you must have your back to either the drawings or the video image creating tension between the observer and the observed.
