The lung function room of a sanatorium among pine woods in the Netherlands on a clear cold morning, on a wooden table by tall windows a cream-white box base with chrome edges, on top two tall cream-white sheet-metal cylinders with metal lids, between them a red-brown recording drum with a fine blue ink trace, two chrome rods with small pulleys, along the front small black knobs, toggle switches, black hose spouts and two glass cylinders of white granules, every small plate plain and blank, a black rubber mouthpiece hanging over the table edge, a hand in a white coat sleeve at the drum, deck chairs on a veranda outside.
