«Expansion in Space»

In a chosen space
Two mobile columns are installed among stationery columns. The stationery and mobile columns look identical. The mobile columns are twice the weight of our bodies. We stand back to back between them. We move simultaneously towards the mobile columns hitting them repeatedly with our bodies and moving them towards the stationery columns.
