With new gallery walls installed from floor to ceiling tracing the perimeter of the gallery, the viewer was faced with an immediate decision of whether to enter this narrow corridor, a 60cm wide passage way, which became a place for skirting a new and self-contained space, active with potential yet physically unreachable.
