It was a little bit uneasy to see it till end. As we are used to doing something every time it was hard to keep my mind quiet and just seeing what is happening on screen. Some woman is pushing very slowly two glasses on wooden table at its end and the glasses fell down at the end. It was 7-hour performance. Why somebody undertook it? To slow down time, to show how our mind are still keeping thinking and it is really hard to see something like this? I was really nervous what I will see next. I was waiting for an action, in my mind revealed  thoughts like why there are two glasses fulfilled by water. Ok, water = life, two = world of polarities, right? Death Life, at the end the glasses are both broken. Never-ending story life - death - life - death etc.
