This artistic performance deals with the relationships between justice and art making. In 1926 a non figurative sculpture from the sculptor Constantin Brancusi is stopped at the American border by the costumer board. The people working in think that it isn't art but manufactured article and they ask to Brancusi to pay a bill. The artist refuses to do so and he decides to appealed the decision but the judge belonged to the costumer board. During the trail the prosecutor says that the Brancusi sculpture represents anything and can't be considered as art making. The witnesses introduced by the defense (artist, photographers) give another point of view. For them art making has no limits and representing something isn't necessary.
