About this work
The work was created during a phase when Eggeling approached a reductive, abstracting visual language and increasingly stylized pre-existing natural forms (cf. Louise O'Konor: Viking Eggeling 1880–1925. Modernist och filmpionjär. Hans liv och verk [His Life and Work], Stockholm: Atlantis 2006, p. 36).
