The performance is a prompt to imagine the memory of a space through sound. Zentralwäscherei Zürich is currently one of the biggest cultural and political hubs in the city. Despite its current role, the space is scheduled for demolition in the next few years, as it is currently designated for interim use by the city.

The sounds utilized in the performance were sampled from the new laundry factory, recently relocated to the outskirts of the city. By transporting the sounds of the machines from the new factory to the former one, a sense of awareness of the space's past, its current state, and its impending nonexistence is evoked.
