A table-like light box suspended upside down is slowly being lowered towards another box. A line of flashing lights announces that the two light sources have met, and the room is immersed in darkness. As the top structure rises again, the space is gradually illuminated. The work was installed in a former synagogue transformed into an artspace in Pulheim, Germany.
