Drawing on her background in both visual art and theatre, Thomas constructed a series of immersive environments in which traditional spectatorship is rendered impossible. Each room in the installation presents a different scenario — a living room frozen mid-conversation, a stage set for a play that never begins, a projection booth screening footage of its own audience.
The work asks fundamental questions about observation and participation: who is watching whom, and what happens when the act of looking becomes the subject of the work? Thomas spent six months developing the piece during her residency at Arttaca, drawing on interviews with actors, directors, and set designers to understand how the conventions of theatrical space shape our experience of reality.
The resulting installation occupied an entire floor of the exhibition space, transforming it into a labyrinth of interconnected rooms. Visitors reported feeling alternately like actors in an unknown script and detectives investigating a scene, an ambiguity that Thomas deliberately cultivated.
Critical reception praised the work for its conceptual rigor and emotional resonance, noting that it achieved the rare feat of being simultaneously intellectually challenging and viscerally engaging.
