Ololyga is composed of four display cases, each containing a wax object beneath transparent, engraved charts showing a sundial of a specific location. The wax objects resemble skin, separated from its original body, seemingly moved by wind or water, leading to foldings.

The engraved sundials, or gnomons, show the sun’s path at summer and winter solstices at the coordinate of Hotel de l'Europe in Bad Gastein; a self-contained, overlapping, winding line describes a path travelled by the artist.

The words ‘Voice remains; bones rock water; vessel stream; Ololyga’ are engraved beneath the gnomons, distributed across the four display cases. The poem refers to Echo, the mountain nymph in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, as a symbol of the female voice and her primal cry, as described, for example, by Anne Carson as a feminist instrument.
