A black scaffolding structure is placed on a mirror glass floor inducing the destruction of the fragile surface.

Each person entering the structure is likely to add more cracks in the surface. Sequences of the film

“The Picture of Dorian Gray” (USA 1945) are projected in the space and being distorted

by the mirrored floor as well as by features of the architecture, such as the niche of the window and its frame.
