Spatial installation consisting of;
- 6 IR heat lamps mounted on gold-coloured rods with rubber feet that spanned the floor and ceiling, in a semicircle (about 10m in diameter). 1st electronics box, containing an Arduino installation with LED diode, ultrasonic sensors, connecting wires and IR transmitter. It sent signals to the heat lamps so that their intensity became stronger when someone moved closer to the box.
- Floor scrubbed with lemon and pork juice. The soles of visitors' shoes stuck and made a loud sticky noise with each step. The floor gave off a slight sweet smell in the room.
- Sinus tone in 330hz, played from speakers in the corners of the room. At first you don't notice the tone, but once you start thinking about it, it grows in your head and is heard strongly in the room. It was difficult to determine where it was coming from.
-
12 gold-coloured aluminium spheres (3cm in diameter) in an irregular formation on the floor.

Beige PVC tarpaulin (6x3m) with a stencil-painted micturition list* in gold paint, suspended with gold-coloured rope in brass eyelets.
- *A micturition list is a so-called 'pee diary' in the form of a form that I received from my urologist in connection with the investigation for overactive bladder and urge incontinence. The micturition list documents everything I have drunk and urinated over 115 days in millilitres. The columns indicate, from left to right, the date, time, fluid intake, fluid output, the number of toilet visits per day, the daily fluid balance, how much I felt the need to urinate at each time and any urine leakage (the last two on a scale of 0-3). The results of the 115 days of measurement show, among other things, that I peed an average of 200ml more than I drank per day.
The title '[measure it all away] 🝕' refers to an old folk medicine practice where the old and wise man measured a part of the body of the sick person three times, if the measurement was changed, evil magic would be revealed and driven away.
