Free, booking no required

Seven Sliding Doors Corridor (Outdoor Version) consists of electronic sliding doors with mirrored surfaces on both sides, through which a viewer can walk in an apparently endless passage. The doors are installed inside a reflective corridor spanning the pond in the park. Inside that space, the doors are positioned at evenly-spaced intervals and are connected to motion sensors that cause them to slide open when someone approaches and close shut when the person moves away. As a result, the movements of viewers alternately break and bind the visual limits of the space, which can be entered from either end of the corridor, increasing the likelihood of unexpected encounters as the doors open and close.
