Description:
The sculpture consists of two blocks. Each block has an inside and an outside. On the outside there is an arm (if it would be stretched it would be about 200 cm long), it is bended and it holds a lamp stand (140 cm high), which has two car headlights on the top. The light goes on and of each 12 second. There is 12 seconds of light 12 seconds of no light. All lamps are synchronized.
The surface on the outside is asphalted paper, burned and melted. Asphalted papers made into braids are laid over the arms and the surface, sometime more visible sometimes more dissolved.
The sides, the top, the base are flatten, as if the blocks have been cut out from a bigger piece. The material of the sides are sanded paper, covered with lacquer for roofing.
The two insides are standing opposite to each other. They are not mirrored. You are supposed to stand between the two blocks; you can walk through the sculpture. The surface of the inside is covered with black feathers and all 17 black table fans are blowing so the feathers move. The engines of the table fans are making a quite loud noise. There is a figure, or a place where a figure has been- like a fossil – divided- with segmented bones/ribs. The figure is shown from feet to the head, it has no arms.
The figure, or the place where the figure has been is not covered with black feathers, it is covered with black tape and black pipes covered with tape.
