Damocles (2022) is a 36-hour performance at UdK Berlin in Summer 2022. 

A knife is embedded with its blade inside a block of ice. At the beginning of the performance, the artist ties a helium balloon to the handle of the knife with a black string. 24 hours later, on Sunday afternoon at 5:32 p.m., the knife came loose from the ice. Balloon and knife rose to the ceiling, 6 meters high. 24 hours later the knife touched the ground again, as the end of the performance.
