I'm still exploring ideas, but the one that excites me right now is using rope (possibly shock cord, the kind you use for bungee jumping) to 'hug' and encase the walls.
The rope would come out of a box with two holes I found in the room (in the corner where Julieta usually sits), get out of the door closer to The Cage, press against the outside of the wall (very tight against every corner), come back in through the middle door, press against the inside of the wall, come out again through the first door, go all the way to the door at the other end...
Anyway, you get the picture. It's about constraining/mapping/contesting the walls and their arbitrary, zig-zag shape. It's about the simplest line available, about flow and about an imagined line made real.
I'm still in wondering stage, hence the lack of clarity of the above, but hey.

This is the website for artist Michael Scwab who I have worked with. 'figure' from 2008 was in the gallery I used to run at the Tram Depot. Not that it should change your idea, but he did use shock cord for this piece.
