The silo contains a layer of water, and in the center is a basin in which nine performers are standing, each holding a bucket of milk. When the performers pour the milk from the buckets, it creates an impressive sound and a fanning halo of white water clouds.

All participants at the edge of the silo repeat the performers' actions, but because the milk is now pouring down from a height, this moment is visually and acoustically even more impressive.

In the silence that then resumes, the milk clouds dissolve into the water, and the echo dissolves into the sounds of the landscape. And even time itself stands still.
