Cups,spotlight, wall, cups, water, mechanic device and timer, dimensions variable, 2010

I collected these cups from the staff lounges of a supermarket,a factory and two pharmacies. They are used by the staff during their break.Some of the items are recycled bottles or jars from various consumable goods, such as tea, coffee, cured fruit or spices…Since about 10 or 20 people have to share these staff lounges, each of the staff uses a cup of different size, colour and material,so that no mixing up is possible. Once I had collected the cups, I put them on the table in a dark space. The cups are filled with water and a beam of light shines on them. Due to the knocking from the mechanic device which hits the floor, there are a series of rippling reflections on the wall.
