Two plastic plates bent by tension lie in the room. Suddenly, one end of a tongue slaps to the floor, then the second. Each slowly tightens again via a mechanism  return to the starting position before repeating the "game of catch" in its own rhythm.

Somewhere between a fly swatter, a sour tongue, or a film of grease on the kitchen cupboard at home - the interpretation

of the objects remains open here. Material is brought under tension in order to then  abruptly discharged again in the next moment.
