The installation comprises:

A hanging construction made from 6mm glass panels in between which a soccerball covered is suspended.

Video projections on the glass panels from both sides in which a slightly distorted human figure creature appears, ambivalently interacting with the ball suspended between the glass sheets (alternately putting pressure on it, and thus maintaining its suspended position, and/or trying to reach it by breaking the glass etc).

Amplified sound of the figure hitting the glass with its fist and head.
