What you see does not exist; what you do not see exists.
A moving image of a grill roll-up door that descends endlessly is projected onto an imaginary wall. Because there is no surface to reflect the projection, the image overflows into the void behind the nonexistent wall, so that when we step inside, the grills, slightly out of focus but perpetually rolling down, become a cage, a reminder of the tethers that confine us.
