As part of his FDKS residency, Reyes Santiago Rojas presents Exercises for Wasting Time at his studio on the second floor at the back of Kunstnernes Hus. A lion's head ornament has been carved in styrofoam. The lion’s roar presents a collection of fauna and flora from movies he has watched in idleness.
