Initially I wanted to position 41 benches in a circle in front of the town hall in
Russe/Bulgaria. Shortly before the beginning of the installation the mayor of the small
town withdrew his approval. Spontaneous I found 41 people who would for one hour run
around in a circle in front of the town hall.
