Object Space

3 objects presented in a small room with a very strong atmosphere of its own:

A teacup on a stand.

A box of sand with an electric motor at the centre turning a wooden bar once an hour and drawing a circle.

A truck carrying a battery and an illuminated arrow standing motionless on a railway line.

At one end of the line were these words:

MOTION(LESS) TIME STOPPED
silence
breathless
speechless
timeless
nowhere
nothing

On the walls were 2 drawings. The text on the main drawing is this:

Teapots and toothbrushes live in present time, they do not know until they're held that they can move.

Time continues, objects are lifeless.

Time draws a circle in the sand.

A truck travels motionless along a railway line.

Hats can fly and teacups can move.

Time stops.
