MEDICINE FACTORY

The Reflection Completes

At the points in each bay, in the basement of an old medicine factory where the light bulbs connected to the ceiling, an electrical cord was run vertically to one inch from the floor. A new grid was constructed as a reflection of the ceiling. At the opposite corner of the stair, a new wall was constructed. The projection of the stair, drawn from the perspective of the point standing on the last step (coming down), presented a correct perspective from one point in the room, at the moment one steps onto the floor. The bulbs along the floor light the way to the new wall, only to show that the drawing is not the same when face to face with it.
