couple of videos of 'shibboleth' at tate modern:
it's behaviourally interesting as much as anything, as so often with turbine hall installations. the insides of the crack look too fake for my liking, but it's amusing enough. you could lose a phone down there - presumably they have a way of cleaning stuff out, or maybe not - time will tell. adam suggested scattering LED toys that would twinkle in the depths. how about flyers? love notes? prayers? use the crack as a labyrinth path?
No one's taken up my idea of using it as a wishing well - I chucked a pound coin in.
Also - no-one seems to have picked up on the inherent humour of the use of the word "crack" with all its possibilities of innuendo.

Ah sorry about that - my browser crashed, and I restored it with all the text in the box, and so I posted it twice by mistake..

How was it done? I can't find any info on the installation process itself....

Its funny how many people have asked me that.
It seems that people can't live with the mystery... Would you like me to tell you? You'll spoil the illusion for everyone else.
Some poeple prefer to be amazed, whilst others want to know how it was done.
If you go and see it, you'll be able to work out how it was done.
