Impossible Object Number 3 (After Man Ray)
Cut out the eye from a photograph of one who has been loved but is seen no more.
Attach the eye to a pendulum of a metronome and regulate the weight to suit the tempo desired.
Keep going to the limit of endurance.
With a hammer well-aimed try to destroy it at a single blow.
Man Ray, “Object to be Destroyed”, 1923
