The work is a site-specific installation that relates directly to the architectural configuration of the exhibition space. A modular design using steel tracks makes it adjustable to various spatial settings, and it is assembled to run through the entire building and/or the exhibition space. The work thus takes on different forms depending on the spatial conditions of the exhibition venue. When a visitor enters the space, a sensor reacts and releases a ball which is set in motion and runs the length of the track, passing loopings, sharp curves and other dynamic sections within the 800-meter-long circuit. At first, the visitor follows the white plastic ball on its route, but as multiple visitors trigger a new ball every 15 seconds, one soon loses track of one’s own ball and starts experiencing the whole architecture as a moving and dynamic structure.
