The work consists of a wooden support and rotating construction with a disposable CD, a 200-page photo-text documentation entitled “Remembering means forgetting,” which is inserted into the support, an audio CD, and a poster that can be used as a “package insert” and art sheet, allows the user to become a participant in the remembered images of Schlingensief's students, who worked with him from 2005 to 2007 at the Burgtheater in Vienna, the Volksbühne Berlin, the Akademie der Künste Berlin, and in Manaus. From the bundle of all remembered information, the group realized the founding of an “Animatographic Society.” Throughout its development, the project was supported by the HBK Braunschweig.

The edition has a print run of 150 copies and is packaged in a hand-numbered box signed by Christoph Schlingensief.
