5 kilos of modeling clay, 800cm x 350cm, 2006

The small balls (between 50mm and 5mm) are made of Plasticine modeling clay pressed tightly together. The pellets are thrown with force so that they stick to the surface of the wall, in disregard to conventional decorum for the handling work. The formal interest lies in the pure braking of moving matter - how something in spatial trajectory stops when it hits the wall. Each event creates a residual spot and the accumulated events create a free and informal whole. The projectiles assemble themselves randomly on the surface, corresponding to the vision of constellated objects moving in space. The distinct colors of the pellets create different spatial layers due to their chromatic radiation.
