300 Grams of Wool

A simple installation consisting of 300 grams of knitting wool connecting small metal hooks screwed into the walls, the floor, and the ceiling. Black light was used to emphasize the threads but not the space; the space was made inaccessible but that was hardly noticed. The threads appeared like laser beams, thin metal rods or bundles of light that bounced off the walls.

The result was a three-dimensional structure that appeared to be unattached to the walls but which could also not exist without them. So the space was in fact filled up but without using any materials.

This installation, a three-dimensional drawing which from each angle could be seen as a different three-dimensional object, was realized at The Living Art Museum in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1995.
