The three folding screens, serving as a white room divider, form a small, separate room, a box. The structure of the installation: eight test-tubes filled with letcho and then insulated, "sewn" one by one on the wall at eye level, i.e., they are fixed on the
wall as if they had been sewn there. At the centre of the opposite folding screen, at the two ends of an iron arch reminiscent of the form of a boat, two closed, paraffin discs filled with water are arranged asymmetrically. Along the line indicating the water
level, we can read the citation of St. Gregory of Nyssa, the Cappadocian bishop: "That which is spiritual and does not have extension, does not expand and does not contract, but is present in the coagulating and dissolving mixture of elements, which is incorporeal and unbound by natural form".
Exhibited: 1992 at the annual Studio exhibition organised at the Ernst Museum in Budapest.
