”The Heat” was originally a radiator, found in a Big Bag. The radiator had once been a vessel of heat and energy but was now lying discarded in the winter night. I was curious to what the radiator, which we perceive as a very solid and uncompromising object and shape, actually contains. I was also curious to what regard the radiator can be understood as a symbol of modern convenience, a convenience on which we have perhaps become somewhat painfully obviously dependent.
