A large white box appears to hover above the icy surface. Inside, visitors wander, passing time as if suspended in midair. What is the story behind this mysterious structure?
Visitors enter this inverted maze through one of two narrow entrances. Inside, a winding corridor leads to a bench at the center. As tourists explore, their view of the outside world is completely blocked, disorienting their sense of direction. They can only see the legs and feet of others navigating the space.
Unexpected encounters bring strangers face-to-face. Near the bench, small holes in the walls allow for discreet observation, inviting visitors to connect visually without being seen.
This installation plays with the concepts of distance and proximity, creating a unique social experience.
