Record of a sailing boat stranded on the Baltic shore; three flare sets combine with the clouds into a seascape. This moving image is also still. Thought of as a threefold painting, it is a never-changing, alwaysrepeating image: a boat arriving, a boat about to depart. Movement meets stillness in the daily and though eternal cycle of the sun setting down.
