A light object is hanging from the ceiling, a two-meter-long, brightly shining LED ticker. A sentence is repeated in a loop: “I Am Running and Consuming Energy for Nothing ...” The flickering letters are reminiscent of advertising slogans in various parts of our urban landscapes. With rapid speed and a (mostly extremely banal) message in their luggage, they force their way into the city strollers. In this installation, the material becomes the program of an intended socially critical question: the electricity-guzzling light bar refers to an endless and wasteful use of resources and at the same time reminds - enigmatic and poetic - of a more energy-conscious life and a differently timed rhythm that should be adopted.
