Starting from a perfect geometrical cuboid, parts are taken from this solid volume to make room for connections between empty bottles of Champagne, wine and spirits, which are facing all the directions of a mathematical graph: x, y, z - the coordinates which allow us to describe our 3 dimensional world. Here, the colorful and diverse empty glass bottles describe hypothetical connections in space and time between parallel universes. Further, their iconic form promptly induces a feeling of lightness and this „sparkling“ feeling which stands in contrast to the massive body of stone - forming a sculpture made of emptiness and concreteness at once. The title also refers to the danger of this drug, the feeling when one drinks, the other world into which you are immersed to escape this one. Despite this obscurity, this sinister substance seems to facilitate a kind of time travel, sometimes speeding up time or enlarging its amount - a dark matter forceful enough to jumble up the structure of time and space perceived.
