“The work was installed in two joined underground rooms in the granary. The dark space was lit through chimney-like windows. Upon entering the first room the visitor was blinded by darkness except for the _source of light which glows from a small opening in the rear wall of the second, inner room. Within this opening was a small photograph, depicting sealed glass jar. In the inner room the visitor sees what appears as two objects; a book floating in the air. Hanging over the book is a bulb made of wire. There was always light on the book, but obviously the light cannot come from the bulb. On the right, a record player turned continuously. Strange sounds were heard, but there was no record on the device. On the ground was a stone in which the Hebrew letter Alef has been carved._

The stone was situated under one of the chimney windows. In the morning for a short period of _time a narrow beam of light illuminated the stone, causing the letter Alef to shine in a mysterious way.”_
