Die streng geometrische, kristallin anmutende Formgebung der Motive orientiert sich am Aufbau neuzeitlicher Befestigungsanlagen – teils Replikate der Grundrisse real existierender Festungen, teils Festungen, die nie gebaut wurden, teils frei erfundene Entwürfe.

The sharply geometrical, cristalline shape of the images is based on the construction of early modern fortresses – in part a replication of the floor plans of fortresses which actually existed, in part those of fortresses which were never built, in part newly invented shapes.
