A giant rope keeps watch like a serpent at the mouth of a cave. The sound of the ringing bells mix with voices speaking 22 languages, offering a collage of predictions, prayers, poetry, and advice. Ziegler's work explores the relationship between the physical and spiritual world. Offering is intended to elaborate on a number of ongoing themes in my work water and oracles, the juxtaposition of attraction and aversion, and the use of sound, odor, light, and disparate elements to create an atmosphere of ambiguity. The term installation covers too much and says too little.
Offering is meant to inhabit the space a habitation rather than an installation.
