Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN, USA
February 12 – December 11, 2022

[An exhibition space is dimly lit by two spot lights. Two benches with wooden bases and cushioned tops are placed in the space, inviting visitors to sit and engage with the central installation. In the center of the room, a rectangular structure with three luminous television screens is placed on the floor, facing one of the benches. The screens emit a soft light that contrasts with the dark surroundings. Large rectangular acoustic panels line the walls.]

[Three cube television monitors display monochrome black screens with white subtitles. From left to right, the subtitles read: "Expand volume.", "[floor creak]", and "Steps on tiptoes." The subtitles correspond to a recorded reading of a dance score, narrating both the movements and breathing of a dancer, along with an audio description.]

[The entrance hall features a white ceiling with jagged, horizontal edges, and three rows of sixteen smoke detectors are installed along it. To the right, there is a wall made of a mix of red and gray bricks, with a doorway in the center. Above the doorway, an LED exit sign glows with green light. At the end of the corridor, there is a windowed door.]

[The dark exhibition space is illuminated by only two light sources. The ceiling has a geometric pattern, adding a distinct structure to the space. Three benches with wooden bases and cushioned tops are placed within the room. A soft glow emanates from a rectangular object on the floor, possibly three television monitors, casting faint light on the surrounding surfaces. The walls are adorned with rectangular panels.]
