The work is the reproduction of one of the handles designed by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein for the house that the architect Paul Engelmann built in Vienna at the end of the 1920s for Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein, sister of the Austrian philosopher.
The handle sculpture is installed on the two faces of a wall.
The two handles have an internal device that makes them rotate as if they were to open a door.
