The idea behind this project is two connect two corners of the library located on both levels a a means of two installations placed in each corner. Through the aroma and audio i aimed to utilise the power of the corner in creation of a micro space within a larger space.

This led to me using a clothes rack of a different format and size, this one coincidentally was owned by the library, so here i experienced
