The construction of "The Hallway" mimics the narrow drywall corridor of a movie set piece, built at a foot and a half width that barely accommodates an average female frame. I intentionally exposed supporting buttresses and drywall to disarm the viewer for the violence to come and to create a contrast between artifice and spectacle. As the viewer steps up to the hallway, a sensor triggers a paint gun (the horror genre’s jump scare), and expels a stream of fake blood on the opposing wall. The fake blood accumulates on the opposing wall for the duration of the show.
