Continuing her series of slashed wall pieces at Dare-Dare in Montréal, Hawrysio built a small room-within-a-room in front of the entrance to the gallery. The room was painted in a ubiquitous institutional shade of beige before three local youths were invited to axe the walls, with instructions to disrupt the surface without breaking through completely.

The design of the free-standing room echoed the form and proportions of the gallery architecture, and visitors could choose to either enter the false room through its own door, or walk around it via the narrow passages on either side. These spaces between the ‘real’ gallery and the inner chamber were strewn with crumbled plaster — the detritus of some unspecified but traumatic earlier process — while light from inside the room cast shadows on the gallery walls.
