2018. Found objects, borrowed vitrines, dimensions variable
The vitrines contain various objects fished out of the oil pool sculpture Matter and Mind (Oil Pool) by Noriyuki Haraguchi, permanently installed in Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art since 1977. The objects are said to be thrown by visitors and the museum staff into the pool during the period between (1977-2017). They were found during the restoration of the artwork in October 2017.
