On the surface of the wooden table, right in front of the place where the viewer is expected to position himself/herself (chair), the 19 min video is projected in repetition. Subject of interest is a pair of live size hands that scratch a series of instant lottery tickets of which the immediate result is observable.
The projected hands consist the extension of the viewers' limbs since physically he/she is placed relatively and gets psychologically involved of an action as such. The projected hands move at the projected 'missing' part of the table in a manic manner and almost in despair. Every 19 min. the possibility that might reform a situation is performed, that is when the signifier questions his/her balance and let go to another dimension. The parallel sound of each movement allows further anxiety to the viewer.
