Contemporary artist H.H. Lim’s last piece in his latest exhibition, The Gaze Of Sleepwalkers, now showing at Wei-Ling Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, is a video of the artist balancing on a basketball.

There are two videos running concurrently. One shows the Rome-based Lim successfully balancing himself on the ball while in the other, he slips and falls.
