A monitor is installed so that it seems to be floating between a black painted wall and a large window. The monitor displays a one-hour long looped video of a poem text, which appears at slow speed. This is interspersed with the 24-hours loop of the light changes outside the window and the independent “footage” of the monochrome wall. The intention was to go beyond the borders of the “black box” and to evoke a sculptural interplay between the work and the space surrounding it.
