The installation provides an oblique passage as the threshold which connects the public sphere with inner spiritual world. It requires one to pass through the narrow door yet upon arrival provides a brief serenity. Just as one opens up a book to arrive at its inner space, this installation provides a spatial translation of such reading experience.

改造使用对角线的方式形成了一道窄门，作为这两种状态转换的零界点, 它连接着公共的知识和个体的精神世界。它既需要读者穿越屏障，也在抵达时提供短暂的精神上的休憩。正如同翻开厚重的书本而抵达另一个世界的过程，此装置在穿越和抵达的两个动作之间，体验阅读的感受在空间上所带来的平行体验。
