The following piece were shown at a separate exhibition at Galleri Box, Göteborg, January 2003, along with two other pieces: "..and then you die!" and This one Belongs to Heaven.

The visitor hopefully expects something similar to the other two pieces in the first room, but in Ballpark the gratification is inverted. There are no active elements in the piece, and it is impossible for the visitor to die or inflict any damage. Instead, the visitor must walk trough a huge landscape without ever finding anything. I wanted this to function as both a contrast for the other pieces, to enhance their focus on the binary life/death symbolism, and as a resting place for the exaggerated effects and spectacle of the other two pieces.
