A tower was constructed using drywall and aluminum studs. Concealed in the gallery space,
perceived as a column, viewers were soon intrigued to investigate the slamming sound coming
from the inside of the structure. By entering into the tower through a narrow threshold,
spectators found themselves looking up at a long vertical hallway. Confounded by the unusual spatial
manipulation, they were then startled by the sound of the door at the top of the tower slamming loudly,
leaving the space dark and even more claustrophobic than before.
