"1916: On March 4, Klee’s friend Marc is killed at the front near Verdun. Klee is deeply grieved. On March 11, he is himself drafted into the German army as a soldier. He is first sent to the recruiting depot in Landshut. On July 20, he is attached to the second reserve infantry in Munich, then transferred in August to the maintenance company of the air corps in Schleissheim." - Zentrum Paul Klee

How do artists deal with war? The piece shows an imaginary dream of Klee, where he is confronted with the camouflage pattern of the war planes he painted in Schleissheim. Now and then, the French word "PARDON" flashes up. The work investigates Paul Klee's dilemma to sustain as a free artistic mind while inexorably being dragged into war.
