Distilled water, a sphere of glass with three mouths, 3 bunches made of very fine threads(one of cotton, one of copper and one of stainless steel)
Variable dimension / diameter of the glass on the version of the photo: 29,5 cm

Glass sphere with 3 mouths, distilled water, one bunch of very thin cotton threads, one bunch of thin stainless steel wires, one bunch of thin copper wires and time The montage of the piece offers several variations according to the given space. The 3 bunches form a triangle inside the water. Each bunch is made of a different material, they are responsible on hanging the piece in a tension emphasised by their position in the space and their different  reaction in contact with the water. The one made of resistant fine wires of stainless steel is the most responsible for carrying the piece. The other is made of copper fine wires and it is placed in a diagonal position, which gives  the right balance to the piece. Due to its lowest resistance, the bunch made of fine cotton threads is fixed below the sphere height or sometimes with its two ends fixed in ambiguous positions, what emphasises its meaningless action. The principle of the work remains the same, even in very different assemblies and locations.
