The theme is a phenomenological experiment to gain insight into the essential qualities of space. A circular hall is the simplest kind of space. When we try to imagine such a space our mind is not scattered trying to picture unessential details; a circular space has only two measurable properties: height of the bounding wall and diameter of the hall. By minute manipulations of these properties, we try to understand wether pure space can have an aesthetic effect on us.
Most of the students doing the experiment cannot escape The Image. The works presented show the circular hall as imagined by them, where pure spatial qualities are secondary and the visual quality and narrative play the main role.
