referencing lewis carroll’s ‘alice in wonderland’, ‘the rabbit hole’ by danish studio kollision is set on a parking lot’s spiral ramp. this structure forms a monumental empty cylindric center space which founds the basis for the installation. LED light sources have been distributed along the railing of the spiral, which together with a spatial light and sound, create and immersive experience for the visitors.
