In Confronto [Confrontation], two people walk onto a crosswalk where the traffic light signals pedestrians to cross, and they begin juggling torches. When the signal changes to let cars through, the jugglers stop and separate to opposite sidewalks, and the cars that had been stopped and waiting, continue on as if nothing had happened. Each time the signal changes, the number of jugglers multiplies, from two to four, to six, and then eight. And when the final eight jugglers continue to juggle even after the signal changes, the quiet cars start honking their horns ever louder; the cars even move in a threatening way as if trying to push through the jugglers. The glow of the torchlight, which becomes brighter as the number of jugglers increases, and the sound of the horns, which grows louder as the jugglers stop moving in line with the signal lights, makes a strong impression, leading us to imagine what may happen when there is a crack in the well-ordered social system.
