Wende shows a transparent image; using two layers placed over each other. The lower layer shows a snowy field landscape, across which the camera slowly moves. A second layer has been superimposed on top of this: an image in which we recognize graphic shapes. Letters – without us being able to make words out of them – and composite patterns. Halfway through the film, the upper layer changes: the white letters become transparent, and the transparent sheet on which the letters and patterns appear becomes white: the positive image becomes negative.
