“This is a photobook. It contains thirty-four pairs of images corresponding to the same number of blood samples. A photographic image of the smear is accompanied by a digital image obtained by manual scanning and digital processing. The blood samples are from different individuals—psychiatric patients, male or female, from the same section of the hospital—taken on a single day, June 9, 2017. Thus, the group is an arbitrary sample of routine hospital work, and Bimer has obtained permission to work with this material for his own purposes.

For the artist, the book should demonstrate "[...] the passage of time in a period of controls until their exhaustion, through the organization of medical samples to demonstrate the exhausting continuity of the medical control mechanism. This is also seen in the book's reading system through the turning of the page and the encounter with a new sample so similar to the previous one that it is indistinguishable except by its number."
