Krenz arranges here an interaction between two objects and observes their mutual impact. Once the interaction begins, the film shifts focus to the visual layer. The stress is on the mechanical convulsions of the clockwork toy, which dies, according to the title, as if shot with a gun. The artist seems to address the images of death and killing, strongly present in the medial culture, but carries out a subversive shift of meanings by tapping into inadequate and comical props.
