Thank you,
Its really nice to hear from others on how they feel when seeing this piece.
When it was in the exhibition, it was projected onto the cielling of a small blacked out room which was hung with black material from cielling to floor and the projection screen flat on the roof was white material which was draping down rather than flat and taught. You could only fit about 5 people comfortably in the room and you had to look up to the cielling the whole time to view it. Along with the strain of looking up for a long period and the soundtrack, it created an intense situation which, from the feedback i had heard, had created a whole other dynamic for the piece.
So for you to be there in the room it would have been quite claustrophobic and with the piercing of the soundtrack you wouldnt have wanted to stay in there. HOWEVER, ironically, thats what made people stay in there and suffer through the whole thing.
