'Can i get a witness? ... your love is on my mind, but you'll never know...'
The video starts at 9 am and shows the continuing of a bar's life, within a continous 24hr time circle.
A female barkeeper, doing her daily routine job, taking care of the whole 26m2 space with her love on her mind.
Can she get a witness? Is it the camera?

'... never, never...'
Shift change with 2 male barkeepers at 9 pm, she is gone, so is her voice. The bar closes a 4 am, the cleaning man in the morning covers the camera. The video ends at 9 am and could be an ongoing loop showing daily life, love and loneliness.
All this in Europe's smallest bar, the Loos Bar in Vienna, built in 1908 by Adolf Loos.


in short:
A time lapse camera shot, within a continuos 24hr time circle, compressed to 4 min shows the daily life of a bar. The main figure is a female barkeeper screaming for a witness of love confession. It starts & ends at 9 am showing Europe's smallest bar, the Loos Bar in Vienna, built in 1908 by Adolf Loos.
