A wooden box with a built-in monitor is pending from a ceiling at a height of 1,80 m.. One sees only the monitor screen with stacked ice cubes, which melt within an hour. The video is shown without cuts and plays without sounds. One can observe the entire transformational process.
Beneath the wooden box with the monitor, water is dripping in a continuous interval of one drop every five seconds into a glass bowl. This bowl is placed on a round black pedestal at a height of 5 cm covered with a plate of glass. The pedestal includes a spotlight which illuminates the bowl. At the base of the bowl, one sees the reflection of the water from the spotlight. It ripples with each drop.
