The first ’situation’ shows a sticker on a car that says ’Koninklijke filmgroep van Antwerpen’ (Royal Film Group from Antwerp). The viewer is left to guess that the people recording images of streets, cars and each other are members of this film group, putting their art into practice. The second part of the film consists of a time-lapse account of different actions. The artist burns some self-portraits, counts money and transforms the image of the Belgian King Baudoin into a hippie-picture with the use of tobacco.
