Two videos,
simultaneously appearing as batons and timekeepers, are playing in repeat. A
schedule of the actual feeding process of two snakes, mapped out in a print, is
mounted high on an adjacent wall. The cutting of a hole in a window and an
object hanging in it completes the three components of this installation. A glance at the inhabitants and workings of the cosmos.

Galileo’s study on the moons of Jupiter in 1610, interpreted into ink figures and accompanied by the time of observation, turned into evidence of the motion of the celestial bodies.
Through this translation his observations were transformed into a shareable form, this of printed symbols on paper. They could then be able to be spread, influencing subsequent observers and triggering new corresponding studies, translations and forms. It is the same principle that enables now the conversion of one of his sketches, into a pendant that oscillates freely, influenced by the wind.

The two screens are playing two videos repeatedly, and in combination with the accompanying sound they produce a rhythmic tempo in the room.
The 3D objects presented in the videos were originally created from real objects with the technique of photogrammetry. This time, acquiring another appearance as compositions produced through the rotation of their own shape around an axis, they dominate the exhibition space.

The duration of the exhibition is mapped to a graph presenting the feeding and digestion process of two snakes living in a pet shop, 30 km away from the exhibition space, where Mr. Frank works. The nutritional needs that vary from animal to animal, determine the time required before this circular procedure starts again, creating a pattern that defines his weekly work routine.
This multicolored pattern derived from the meeting of the eating and digestive routine and needs of the two snakes, with the methodology of pictorial representation and the care of Mr. Frank.
