SIMULTANEUOSLY WITH THE 99 TH SLIDE APPEARANCE THE RIGHT SCREEN IS SWITCHED
ON.
There was the same snapshot on it (garden house‘s corner), but made in the daytime and in color. Instead
of the plastic barrel there is the "Soft handle" on the ground, its red disk facing outwards. The slide
remains on the screen for 30 seconds, and then the right screen is switched off.
100. Empty garden house‘s corner, inside view.
101. Garden house‘s roof.
102. Garden house‘s fence and floor (inside view).
103. A. M. inside the garden house (close-up).
104. A. M. inside the garden house, standing.
105. A. M. inside the garden house (outside view).
106. A. M. inside the garden house (back view).
107. Part of empty garden house (inside view).
108. Wide alley perspective at night.
SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE 108 TH SLIDE APPEARANCE THE RIGHT SCREEN IS
SWITCHED ON.
There is an "advertising" slide of the "Russian World" performance on it: in the center there is a tape
recorder on a purple cloth spread on snow, snowy field in a distance and A. M.‘s silhouette.
When this colored slide appears on the right screen, a tape recorder standing under it on a purple cloth is
switched on. It is the same tape recorder as on the "Russian World" slide. Its soundtrack consists of noises
and clinging of several cash registers (recorded in a large supermarket).
Soundtrack "REPETITIONS" continues.
109. Branches of trees at night (shot at night with a flash, like all other slides of black-and-white series).
On the right screen the slide from "The Russian World" remains.
110. A. M. by a tree with a sign "TUBERCULOSIS INSTITUTE". On the right screen the slide from
"The Russian World" remains.
Then the "Tuberculosis Institute" slide on the left screen is replaced by a colore slide picturing an
announcement board with letters "FINANCIAL INSTITUTE".
At the same time a similar slide appears on the right screen.
On the stroboscopic screen the slide "Color-6" is also replaced by depiction of the announcement board of
Financial Institute.
Blinking of the screen reaches maximum rate.
The slide projected on the blinking screen is different from those on lateral screens, as it is bordered with
background image (tree branches, one of which obstructs part of the board), while lateral slides do not
have any background.
Simultaneously with the appearance of the three boards of Financial Institute, "The Supermarket"
soundtrack played back through the tape recorder under the right screen was overlapped by the same
recording at very high volume, then replaced by "REPETITIONS" soundtrack (it could be heard from two
speakers of a stereo tape recorder behind the audience‘s backs).
"The Supermarket" soundtrack (lasting 3 minutes) ended with a 3-second-long electronic chord. When
the soundtrack came to an end, the stroboscopic screen stopped to produce a still-frame image and then
all three screens were switched off. The motor revolving the "Soft handle" also stopped.
