Known for his debut album 'echt?' in which he explored vulnerability within the context of others, he is now working within the confines of himself. Thus, he began in an empty space where the possibilities of bringing something into being seemed endless. As a result, he is immersed in his emptiness. Perhaps for the first time in his life, he is completely left to himself. In his upper chamber, sounds echo and fragments of images are projected. He is close to his own skin, trying to distance himself from his self-image. However, this proves easier said than done. 

He struggles to get a grip on his thoughts and memories, eventually trying to turn them into physical and mental exercises. The performance highlights the process of learning to trust yourself, letting go of self-image, and self-acceptance, taking Johnny one step closer to true self-love.
