This project is a second version of ‚Equation of Loss‘ inserted into an architecturally complex passageway, with three supporting pillars and rear open space onto the raised access ramp. The individual elements form together with the architecture a whole that can, however, only be perceived gradually in fragments. These relate to a flow of goods that is in question. They are held in a precarious balance. The performative sculpture is a simulation, a walk-in model with real objects that refers to the relationship of people to values, to the movement of goods, their storage and their incessant calculation.
