The space is divided into passageways for people who do not see how it is built, for people who use it anyway, which of course influences their physical condition, defines points that express the kind of concept this is, that single out what everyone has already recognised, gone through numerous times. Analysing the space is easy; it plays with its elements and shows its interdependency: visibly only through lines, the created spatial structure is not material, it hangs in the air as a spatial drawing. The concept is simple: an anticlockwise tour of the room describing in four points where contact with its outside world is permitted by openings. If the viewer stands in the middle of a door or a window, they find to their right a wooden object that points towards the next opening, or more precisely: in this position an angle of the object projects into their field of vision so that it covers two sides of the next opening – a reciprocal relation that produces an equilibrium in exactly one point.
