install for tx biennial

 

 

what under structure looks like sans the tubes

the piece is composed of fleshy/hide like tubes used repetitively at primary threshold with five doors slamming closed or being flung open, and a hallway passage leading into/out of the primary doored portal which is composed of door frame header boards, so that each step requires one to pass another threshold of sorts; this passage is skewed and unnavigatable.
