Really Shiny Things That Don’t Mean Anything is a more than 2 meter large metal sphere covered with a thousand shiny, metal items. The sphere gives the impression that it has just rolled through a city and collected small objects on its surface, the function or form of which is unclear. Alternatively, one could image the objects being pulled into a tight sphere by a strong magnet at its center. Thousands of unidentifiable shiny stainless steel components of various sizes and shapes, let the sphere gleam in the sun and resonate light onto the surrounding area.
