The sequences of movement and the plots in Roman Signers action sculptures can be viewed as sculptures of space and time. The directions of movement in these documents proceed in a markedly contrasting fashion. Hence, the film is called: Vertical/Horizontal. This contrast is underscored by the settings: winter/ice/water/summer/clouds/air. A commentary to the story is provided with the abstract signs of sign language and, in particular, with music by Möslang/Guhl.
In their sequence of movements and events, Roman Signers actions are conceived as space/time sculptures. In keeping with the opposing directions taken in these documents, the film is simply called Senkrecht/Waagrecht (Vertical/Horizontal). This oppositional tendency is underlined by the locations: winter/ice/water/summer/clouds/air. The commentary to the story is provided by the abstract signs of the sign-language used by the hearing impaired and above all by the music of Möslang/Guhl.
