It is a very conceptual work, from the series „moth-paintings“ which were shown at Rosemarie Trockel’s one woman show at galerie Tanit back in 1993. Each work, the size, the colors and the concept, are an appropriation one to one after works by Fontana. Following this show, the work was shown in 5 important museums, Haus Estes, Haus Lange Krefeld 1995, Hamburger Kunsthalle 1998, Whitechapel Art Gallery London 1999, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart 1999 and MAC Musées de Marseille 2000. The rest of the series has been sold to important international collections.
The piece was thematically connected to an exhibition called „each animal is a female artist“, an ironical approach to Joseph Beuys statement "everbody is an artist". A moth is perforating the fabric like Fontana did with his canvases, quite an astonishing idea.
