As a farewell ritual, I dissected and transformed my old B&O television set (Beovision MX 7000), which broke down after 30 years of faithful service, emitting one last impressive flash of light. Using a minimum of parts from the dismantled device, I tried to reconstruct this ultimate flash of light, to re-enact the all-destroying implosion. Although its view on the world’s horizon had faded out forever, I was able to create an afterimage in a dramatised and condensed form.Joost van Hezewijk
