In a single room the artist has arduously and meticulously placed 983,000 small brass beads so as to cover the entire (and uneven) floor of the space.
This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Judith Schumacher is a sculptor. In a single room, she has arduously and meticulously placed 983,000 small brass beads so as to cover the entire (and uneven) floor of the space. The unevenness prevents the perfect packing that physicists could predict as ideal; instead, a form of chaos theory intervenes, complicating even further the obsessional and time-based quality of the work. Brass bearings of this kind are essential ingredients of landmines and other explosive devices.
