Mounted on three pillars are video loops of a handheld phone and a voice singing love songs by Elvis in different settings. In a forest the voice struggles to climb a mountain while singing ”you were always on my mind”. In a public park by “the seal pond” that same voice follow the seals movement with it’s gaze, singing ”love me tender”. In a natural museum the voice sings the famous Elvis-song ”but I can’t help falling in love with you” to the stuffed animals of the museum. Slowly moving towards the center, the voice finally arrives to it’s destination - The big elephant in the room.
