Each part rhythmically reorganizes the initial image, the rhythms are inspired by the formal aspect of the detail.

On April 20, 1945, twenty Jewish children were hanged at the Hamburg school on Bullenhuser Damm. SS doctor Heißmeier had previously conducted "medical" experiments on the children. To conceal this crime from the advancing British forces, the SS, under the command of Obersturmführer Arnold Strippel, killed the children, two prisoner nurses, two prisoner doctors, and 24 Soviet prisoners of war.

"ARABIAN LIGHTS is the second of only two Super 8mm films deAk is known to have fully edited to completion, and the only work she produced outside the New York club scene. During an extended romantic holiday in Egypt in 1977 with Jamie (then James) Nares, the two young visual artists shared a movie camera and recorded intimate, carefree moments that deAk later edited into this unusual self-portrait. Tourism becomes performance art at legendary historic sites and across the bright desert landscapes as their budding romantic relationship plays out. The film was rarely screened during the period, and MoMA’s new digital preservation is drawn from deAk’s unique original Kodachrome print and a reel of assembled outtakes, both recently acquired for the Museum’s collection." — MoMA
