"The object consists of a recordplayer, a loudspeaker, a preserving jar containing the inner technical parts of the recordplayer. The tone arm is a mounted wing of a sea-eagle, a 30 cm record of speeches of Lenin is played, a red flag serves as a background. Of this object exists a recording on a transparent flexidisc with an installation photo in spiral binding.

The stylus jumps back and forth between the two cables which I have glued onto the record. This movement – at the same time the movement of the wings – deforms the content of the record. One hears parts of the speeches and words.
A record with speeches by Lenin." - Piotr Nathan
