Christian Boltanski's The Reserve of the Dead Swiss is a series of photographs collected from the obituary columns of Swiss newspapers, with spotlights focusing on each photo, creating quite a dramatic effect. Nearby you can hear the eerie sound of delicate tapping coming from Rebecca Horn's Ballet of the Woodpeckers. Eight large mirrors hang on the walls, infinitely reflecting back at each other.
Small hammers tap each mirror in rhythm like woodpeckers.
