Dealing with the impossibility of representation, the installation consists of video projection, a bed, a barrel, a window, and water. The installation includes documents or samples collected from a given moment and place. The parts are reinstalled as a work of art that should represent a past moment but instead summon a new experience. All representations are always false.
