The piece Chove Chuva (translating as Rain Rains), comprises of 25 aluminium buckets strung above head-height. Each bucket is pierced with a small hole at it's base so that the water drips into other buckets placed on the floor. Every 4 hours a museum employee has to refill the buckets using step ladders that are also part of the display. The installation is a repetitive cycle; the relentlessness of time is made apparent by the constant sound of dripping water. The idea of it being a cycle is enforced by someone having to refill the buckets every 4 hours and effectively restart the cycle.I think this piece will work really well in my exhibition, again showing the passage of time. I think the sound of the dripping water and the repetitiveness links really well to Darren Almond's 'Tide', where the wall clocks loudly 'clack' every minute. I also think the buckets have quite a man-made/industrial feel, contrasting to the natural feel of Anya Gallaccio's work.
