Unknown

Alert viewers investigating a unidentified slamming sound must inherently re-explore what is outwardly perceived as an ordinary column in the gallery space. 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 are 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.
