Two pendulums are constantly waving towards and away from each other. One pendulum has a light bulb and the other a camera. The output of the camera is shown on a screen nearby. The light almost crashes into the camera every time, both as you see it yourself and on the screen. A tiny adjustment, and they would crash. If you try to get into the view of the camera, you risk being hit too.

A cloudlike installation hanging in the air is constantly trembling by waves emitted from a speaker in the ceiling.

A structure identical to the pillar holding up the first floor, is standing free on the floor with no support task. Actually the pillar is supported by a simple, wooden pole, that avoids the pillar from falling.
