“The head wagon of a train is opened outward through the installation of a drawn sky, while an angel carrying a ladder (in the same posture as Led Zeppelin's Icarus, whose jersey he wears) flies upward: these are oxymorons, metaphors that create a parallelism between travel and the life of man, who pursues infinity despite his own finiteness in an endless loop. The idea of the no-end loop continues in the video animation broadcast on the screens of the train, which fits into the normal programming made up of ride warnings and advertisements. In the video a man, who goes up and down through stairs that in the end of the video turn out to be a closed and continuous loop similar to Escher’s stairs, caged in the human condition.” re-adaptation from a text by Nicolas Pezzotta.
