„235 000 000” is inhabited by objects and mise-en-scene geometry that has
migrated from Brauns first shorts. For example, first frame with the image of kids
sliding over the sand dunes is taken from the short film „Summer” 40 (1964), second
frame with a similar image comes from „235 000 000.’’

Third and fourth frames refer to tank’s deconstruction in “Worker”
and to military maneuvers in “235 000 000”. Next pairs of frames belong
to the same films – fifths and sixth depict welding episodes, seventh and
eighth – a modern way of shooting factory chimneys with a wide angle
lens.
