Edition of 30 (+ 15 APs) signed and numbered copies

A plexiglass container, commercial hairdryer and ping-pong ball make up this Hirst edition, produced for the 40th issue of Parkett Magazine. The ping-pong ball is kept afloat by a the air of the hairdryer.
The work is part of the ‘Mental Escapology’ series, which also featured beach balls and other items hovering in mid-air.
