There is not one appropriate way to experience the labyrinth-like space that leads to the seating area for an audience. The lights and reeds that are attached to the wooden columns of
the labyrinth react to the people in the space by moving or shining differently. On the other side, shadows are repeatedly amplifying and contracting, while on a different side, the moving
reeds and metal wire bumping into each other is translated into undecipherable text through a morse code transmitter. The seated audience looks at the reflected shadow’s movement on the
opposing white wall, or follow the movement of the reeds and looks at the sparkling lights on the other side.
