On this endless ocean
Watching in slow motion
As you turn away and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
to become the fated ones
In time you slipped away
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there’s a world in flames
Take my breath away
Expulsions was filmed on Heron Island, Australia. The largest living organism on Earth is a coral reef known to us as The Great Barrier Reef. It is spectacular, breathtaking and as an outcome of human activity it is also disappearing. The lyrics are a riff on the hit 1986 love song Take my breath away by the band Berlin. In 2020 the word “Breath” takes on new meaning.

Their works can be seen from 4pm to 12am at the window front, Kottbusser Str 10 each day. Initiated by Arthur Debert.
