Chris Burden, Samson, 1985
“A museum installation consisting of a 100-ton jack connected to a gear box and turnstile. The 100-jack pushed two large timbers against the bearing walls of the museum. Each visitor to the museum must pass through the turnstile in order to see the exhibition. Each input on the turnstile ever so slightly expands the jack and ultimately, if enough people visit the exhibition, Samson could theoretically destroy the building. Like a glacier, its powerful movement is imperceptible to the naked eye. This sculptural installation subverts the notion of the sanctity of the Museum (the shed that houses the art).”
