i_berlin_installation_6.jpg The installation consisted of a piece created/inspired by a sample of Samuel Beckett playing the gong on a recording entitled "Macgowran Speaking Beckett" on the Claddagh Record Label .

Macgowran Speaking Beckett is the only known recording of Beckett playing a musical instrument where he sounded the gong to divide up the pieces.

In the installation it was accompanied by a series of watercolour drawings that the artist had made and texts and photographs plus fresh flowers which were affixed to the walls.
