Room 1: A single extremely sharp ‘clock hand’ rotates systematically but gradually through the space, taking a whole minute to complete one full round.
Room 2: From two black loudspeakers we hear the sound of bouncing balls: big ones, little ones, tennis balls, ping pong balls hitting the floor, sometimes quickly and rhythmically, sometimes more quietly and gently. And after a break it starts again.
Room 3: Five yellow screens turn slowly to the sound of the bouncing balls and the monotonous sound of the small hidden electric motors.
Room 4: In a narrow space, a rope hangs from a hole in one wall to the other. When touched, the rope takes up the musical and rhythmic movement which then animates the other rooms.
Performance: The dancer Nyeja N. Noiret performed on the occasion of the opening (20.1.1995), mimicking and keeping time to the motion of all the different objects in the exhibition.
