灰色の床版の下に、天井板の格子、平らな板、棒、帯、半透明の膜を0.4〜1秒おきに一つずつ吊り足す。描いた物はそのまま重ねていく。ページを開いて14〜18秒後に、画面を格子状に区切り、一部の区画にある物を外して落とす。残った区画の近くからまた吊り足し、以後は約30秒おきに外す。
Ceiling tiles, flat panels, bars, bands and translucent films are hung one at a time under a grey slab at intervals of 0.4–1 second. Each piece remains as new ones are added. Between 14 and 18 seconds after the page opens, pieces are removed from selected cells of a grid spanning the screen and fall away. New pieces are then hung near the remaining cells, with further removals about every 30 seconds.

消点のない斜めの平行投影で描く。色は黄緑、紫、桃、青緑、黒、薄紫の6色で、濃淡は付けない。膜のすべてと板・格子の3〜4割は、下の色と掛け合わせる乗算合成で重ね、板と帯の半数ほどは別の色を数ピクセルずらして下に刷る。どの物も右下へ影を落とし、後から付ける物ほど低く吊るので影が長くなる。撤去は画面の一点から遠くへ向かう順に約3秒で進み、画面の2〜5割が残る。配置と順序は開くたびに変わる。
The view is an oblique parallel projection with no vanishing point. Six flat colours are used: lime, violet, pink, teal, black and pale lilac. All films and 30–40 per cent of panels and grids use multiply blending with the colours below; about half of the panels and bands have a second colour printed a few pixels out of register. Every piece casts a shadow down and to the right, and later pieces hang lower, so their shadows are longer. Removal spreads outwards from one point over about 3 seconds, leaving pieces across 20–50 per cent of the screen. Layout and sequence change on each visit.
