Wall Through

When you walk while looking into a mirror, there appears to be a black wall in front of you, and you will see yourself passing through that black wall. When you look into the path that you passed from the outside, you will see others passing through the wall.

At first sight, this is only a mirrored tunnel that invites you into a meditative zone while looking into yourself. However, when you carefully look into the mirror, there appears to be a black wall in front of you. When you look into the mirror, you will see yourself passing through the black wall. Let us think about "seeing." What am I seeing right now? - When you look into the path that you have passed from outside, you will see others passing through the wall. The reflection of a person in the mirror appears and vanishes. Overlap the person passing through the wall with yourself in your mind. This enables you to see with time lag, to see with overlap, and to be seen. You will be seen together with the work and will see while participating in the work. This museum helps you have a dialogue with your own sensation. Before entering the areas for meditation, carefully watch yourself and other things.
