Created for Art Metropole in Toronto, a hose rapped in different shades of colored tape came out of a toilet tank, ran along the floor, and returned into the tank. The hose was attached to a pump that was wired to the light switch, so that when the switch was flipped the pump kicked on, and began recirculating water through the hose. Made to mimic the appearance and electrical action of jumper cables, the water that was pumped out of the tank encircled the person using the toilet.
