Repeating Again and Again
(Force and Exhaustion, Consumption and Declination).
A gallery room is only lit up by a 300-watt light bulb hung 2.2 meters above the floor. Timer set, the light swings harshly from left to right along the stretch of the gallery room. Once it stops, the timer will send the light to start its new cycle of swing. On the three walls of the room are 10 elephant jaws casted of fiberglass attached orderly. Above each jaw is a steel ladle and a zinc container carrying motor oil. Motor oil drops continually down on each steel ladle of which after a certain moment of unbearable weight, the ladle lets go of the motor oil onto each jaw and enamel basin placed on the floor.
