- Description →
Two identical wooden stands are positioned at some distance from each other. One stand has a large combat steel knife going into its top surface, while the other displays an identical knife coming out. The two parts of the knife move in perfect synchronicity, as if they are one and the same knife strangely dislocated between the two stands. The movements are silent, and over time different variations of aggressive stabbing is played out in super-slow motion. The installation is activated by human presence.
