A moving sculpture measures over three meters. It laughs hysterically, like a child that is tickled out of its mind, it falls on the floor in convulsions and rises up on its feet again. Do you remember the tickling games you played when you were a child? How they started with pleasure but soon went over to hysterical laughter that threatened to flip over to hysteria and pain? The Destruction of the Ego is just about that, but also about how we fight to keep control over our body and mind and what happens when we fail.
