The work consists of 98 dumbbell-shaped units connected by a network of large electrical wires. Each of these units symbolizes a single word, which is linked to six other units representing related words. For example, when a viewer picks up the unit representing “Los Angeles,” it illuminates connected units like “cinema,” thus creating an interactive web of associations.
