A two-page photograph from the book Moments, in its section on Meg Stuart titled Phase II: RE-ACT. The German caption identifies it as a performance by Meg Stuart during Open Lab on March 30, 2012, at the ZKM Center for Art and Media. It shows one performer in white padded, quilted costume pieces kneeling beside a small screen, a second figure with articulated arm pieces standing close by, and a large silhouette projected on the wall behind.

A spread from the exhibition catalog Moments, documenting ZKM's 2012 Open Lab project during its Phase II: RE-ACT. German captions identify choreographer Meg Stuart performing Forti Playing Face Tunes, accompanied by her costume designer, Claudia Hill, alongside participants interacting with works by Marina Abramović and Reinhild Hoffmann. Four photographs show workshop activity inside the ZKM's Museum für Neue Kunst galleries.

A continuation of the same Moments catalog spread, following Meg Stuart's 2012 performance Forti Playing Face Tunes at ZKM. Photographs show Stuart in a padded costume with mirrored arm pieces, perched on a video monitor surrounded by pillows, then bent forward with arms raised before a seated audience, with a hand-lettered Dark Matter banner visible on the gallery wall behind.

An essay by Adrian Heathfield, in German, from the exhibition catalog Moments, describing the 2012 Open Lab performance at ZKM's Museum für Neue Kunst. It recounts dancer Meg Stuart moving half dressed through the exhibition while a second performer, Claudia Hill, repeatedly dresses her and wraps her in old eiderdown quilts, interrupting the flow of her movement. A black-and-white photograph shows musician Burkhard Stangl playing guitar beside the performers.
