To see it, the viewer must walk into a darkened corridor with tight-angled corners that block out the light; after a cautious approach the corridor opens out into what feels like a large, dark room, completely pitch-dark apart from long, glow-in-the-dark forms that become more apparent as your eyes adjust to the light. Gradually, whilst neatly dodging other strangers engaged in the same task, five overlapping rectangles become clear. It looks like an exploded diagram; three-dimensional people are in an exploded two-dimensional diagram.
Strangers start back from each other, having accidentally orbited closer than usual. Fifteen long minutes of light follow, to recharge the glowing lines of our rectangles before we are again plunged into the comforting darkness to witness the lines emerging slowly, evolving into their brilliant state.
