“Alas, Alas, the mirror’s retrospection” wrote Alfred Nobel in a poem named Alas, directly influencing the artist Eva Beierheimer to create this artwork, that (theoretically) produces infinite duplication.

In addition an ellipsis (dot dot dot …) is incorporated. Depending on the context ellipses may indicate an unfinished thought, an uncertain continuation, a pause or something about to be continued. This leads the thoughts to scientists and writers who try to fill the (…) gaps with information.
