Metal cage with sloping floor, about 600 tennis balls, tennis ball throwing machines, conveyor belt, protective shields and helmets, flashing lights, smoke machine, stroboscope.
The poster on the massive cage says: Enter at your own risk! And SOFT – MEDIUM – HARD – HERO, which means: with protective helmet and protective shield; with only one of these; OR unprotected. Expose yourself to a constant stream of tennis balls. You will experience the same amount of fun fair, reality show and anti-globalization demo. Artistic, voyeuristic and masochistic.
