Bjorn and Leary worked together on light constructions such as this one that were installed at Leary's Millbrook, NY home during the LSD studies he led there in the mid-60s. The house was also the site of Leary's wedding to Nena, which was filmed and made into a movie by D.A. Pennebaker titled You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You.
