The work is about the practice of information exchange through social and mass media.
I invite the audience to observe the " lamp" and trace the light which has been using as the metaphor of the enlightenment/knowledge from past to present.
I invite the audience, turn the lamp on, look through the hole on the "wall" and nd the source of the information and the menace.
With the object, that is stuck in between a construction and a tool/ware, I question the existence of the media as the tool and as the institution. Besides, I think about the hypocrisy of the practices of the mass media.
