The starting point for this spatial concept was the idea of folding up the spatial endpoints (corners). Of the eight corners in the space, four are folded into the space, thereby giving the volume the appearance of pyramid elements. The juxtaposition of the pyramids and the corners illustrates the notion that a positive and a negative corner formation stand diametrically opposite one another in the space, meaning that the axes of the pyramids meet exactly in the vertexes of the opposite negative shapes. By juxtaposing the suspenseful contrasting pairs, a geometric relationship is created that positions the compositional concept in a clear reference framework. Colourfully filling the corner elements with primary colours is intended to structure and support the complexity of the composition. The surfaces of the walls, floor and ceiling are coated in the neutral, achromatic shades of black and white, which emphasise the impact of this colourful installation.
