This short film was created while the artists were both in residence at Casa Wabi (Mexico). Responding to Nicolas Kyrillou's 24 clay tile curtain, a work created using clay tiles from the region around Casa Wabi, Lanzilotti both created acoustic and electronic works responding to the sculpture and its resonance, as well as creating this film.

Nicolas Kyrillou is a Paris-based Cypriot artist whose work explores occupation, territory, and boundaries, especially in relation to his experience growing up in Nicosia, a divided capital. The film discusses some of the major themes of his work, relating it to the specifics of this particular piece and the two artists' collaboration.
