'found a metal connection II':
an iron bridge 8 m long and 80 cm wide
is suspended in the middle of the space.
at both ends a koran and a bible lie open,
different groups of animals walk from each
end of the bridge in a strange exodus.
'dream screen':
consists of a black stone screen,
the stone is polished and serves as a
projection field, where thanks to a video camera,
the spectator can see the back of his or her own
head on-line.
