DESCRIPTION
In the corner of the hall, behind a wooden barrier, lies a large, complexly configured ‘bottle’ made of metal wire. It is 3 meters in diameter. Its height is 3.2 meters. Next to it on the wall is an explanation that is appended here. The size of the stand is 90 x 70 cm. The special quality of this installation is that there are lamps attached to each place where the wires intersect, and these lamps burn and create a strange, transparent image against the white background of the wall.
The text on the wall is a ‘scientific theory’ that the patient read at some time in the past and which confirms his own hypothesis.
