One of a few references to analogue technology, a tank full of clocks, film, old packaging and cameras. There was also a record player and a projected 16 ml film.

A sci fi spacecraft tunnel, like a 2001 space oddessy film set, put together with bull dog clips and polystyrene. The last clever and aesthetic placing of polystyrene I saw was at the Barbican in an installation by Chinese artist, Song Dong

A pile of burnt bread loaves (not a pile of bricks).
