At the time, the sound of airplane engines seemed to capture the sound of modern life and the promise of mobility and make it available. The idea that the sound could be released from this small geometric object and spread beyond the boundaries of the architecturally defined space corresponded with the new idea of the effect of sculptures on the surrounding space, as it was laid out in the early works of Isa Genzken."- In 1981, Genzken brought out another edition in cooperation with Gerhard Richter, in which Richter painted the backs of the records with gray nitrocellulose lacquer. - The protective sleeve minimally rubbed and creased, the record unplayed.
