These sculptures are in Bronze, Aluminum and Lead - thus the idea of third forth and fifth place. This show was influenced by breathing at the time of the occupy movement. It is also an expression of the idea that generally first and second place are political appointments in any kind of competition and that if there is anything of interest it is usually in 3.rd, 4th. or 5th. place
