From 9 to 23 May (Exhibition View)

The installation consists of 2 juxtaposed video LCD displays and a cake kept in a confined room inside the venue from the beginning until the end of the exhibition, which lasts for half a month.

A motionless image of a cake is displayed on each 21-inch LCD screen; one of the screens shows the still image of the cake taken at the beginning of the exhibition when it was fresh, the other shows the image from a surveillance camera which monitors the decaying of the cake kept in the confined room in real time. The two screens are framed in the same way, showing the images at the same angle, mounted on the walls 1.4m from the floor.
