This artwork was originally a performance piece.

For an exhibition at Bornholms Kunstmuseum, DK, I made one chair for each day of the show, 35 chairs in total, each left turned on for the whole day and turned off at night. Here I used thinner the glass tubes, which resulted in the chairs slowly slumping backwards by the heat.
