The installation is composed of balloons, strings, and remnants collected at the festivals Curnier Jardin filmed while shooting Fat to Ashes (2020). These festivities, the Cologne Carnival and the St. Agatha procession in Catania, became some of the last celebrations before the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.
