    Inspired by the “Macaroni” series. I accepted the offer for an exhibition, but I did not want to exhibit hanging pictures. I wanted to respond to the space of the old synagogue.

    I had all window coverings removed so that I denuded the interior space as much as possible, and so that daylight could start flowing into the synagogue. On the ground plan of the floor, I planned to do a drawing by scattering it with sand.

    I wanted to emphasise as much as possible the passage of time, and I titled the work in advance by the estimating the time stamp necessary for creating the drawing. The assistant would bring me the sand and I with a bent back without a break circled around and poured it out. I overran the originally determined time by five minutes.
