Endangered Species: Instability. Immobility. The man, covered by pearls, lies on a bed made of 300 glasses. The woman shifts the empty glasses on which the body is not lying and removes pearls with her mouth from the man's skin-surface. Each empty glass is filled with one pearl. The stiff body raises up from the glasses. The remaining glasses outline his body’s shape on the floor. He blows gold leaves on the woman. They rest in an embrace.
