Sails were stretched up against this monolith, spanning the site to create high, light spaces. Large film images were projected upon these sails creating a giant multispace based on a temporary form of expression, as is evident in the frame work of the monolith and the construction of the sails.

People spectators in motion- in the large space were also part of the experience. The sails rose out of the water, which cooled and gave a distance to the monolith so there were no dark corners and the surface was not worn by the public.
