The work is a tribute to the actress Marlene Dietrich. The archive video used by Ventur shows the diva in London in 1972 when, in her seventies, she performed the song by Pete Seeger Where have all the flowers gone? (Where have all the flowers gone?). In the installation, a disco ball covered with mirrors multiplies the face of the actress in the environment, generating a firmament in which only Dietrich's disturbing and mysterious star shines.
