"In this article I talk about the artwork "moonstone and drop" by Kent Karlsson. It is located in the medical library, and there has been a single room. The artwork consists of a stone in granite and a chain hanging from the ceiling. The stone weighs approximately 2 tons and measuring 3.30 x 1.30 x 0.30 meters and has a crescent carved in the widest part. A closed water system belongs to the artwork and also with the help of this you get one drop of water falling from the chain into the half moon on the rock about every second. The artwork is located in the middle of a fairly large room and the most immediate effect is that the work gives the drop to the stone. Despite the drop occupies an almost non-existent volume in the room is the still the biggest event, every second."
