One of the existing gallery walls was painted lilac, a colour redolent of the looming gentrification in the Hoxton/Old Street area of London. Instructions were given for holes to be punched in the wall to achieve a maximum density of one hole per square inch. Photographic spotlights were placed behind the wall to incorporate within the installation another artist’s studio that existed behind the wall while the light radiated through the hole into the darkened gallery space.
