This extremely fun art installation is called Suck the Balls! and was design by artist Niklas Roy.
The installation stretches several stories up a staircase at the Goethe-Institut Krakow and includes a ball collection pit at the base.
In all, the artwork contains 260 feet of tubing and 10,000 plastic balls. Here’s how the whole thing works: ‘Participants stand in the ball pit and collect balls with a vacuum wand (the sculpture is powered by an ordinary vacuum cleaner). High above them, the balls are collected in a box, which the participant can then open via a cable, dumping a shower of balls on themselves to start the process anew’.
