H.Q.S.C.L.M.S. presents an analog photograph of a pavement in Lisbon. This works as the base image of the structure that will develop over it. The sound is made up of prolonged chords, suggesting tension and change. The next image appears in fade in with slow speed and in tune with the sounds that seem to indicate a compass. A new image appears, a pair of black high-heeled shoes probably worn by an unknown woman, as the image is cut off just above the ankles. After a few moments, an almost imperceptible image appears, as if it were a flash image. This is a subliminal image, whose content is unreadable due to its short duration. Both videos enunciate, therefore, ideas that will be deepened in Merina.
