The three sheets of handmade paper are made by recycling three rejection letters and the envelope they came with. The words "Leider" and "nicht" (roughly translates to "Unfortunately not") appear in all three letters; these words were cut out from each letter and pasted onto the recycled paper on the same place where they appeared on each letter.
The accompanying soundtrack is made up of recordings of my tearing the letters and envelopes into small pieces in order to make paper pulp.
