Day Two of Installation

Here, we took notes from the previous night and let those inform our construction method. The two big observations were:
A. People needed to see their alley-way destination well before getting to the alley, and
B. The door at the end of the alley required more light to make it a more welcoming/interesting walk...

Therefore, we split the installation into two big halves. One half was pulled a little further out (into the public realm) than the previous night. The other half surrounded the door (still leaving proper egress requirements and staying clear of the ramp).

While walking on the north side of the street, one could see the half on the sidewalk from several doors down. If it was only a bit taller, one might have seen it from the south side of the street as well. Instead, parked cars were about all you could see.

The piece nearest the door was very successfull in getting people to engage the photographs. While waiting to buy tickets at the door, people would investigate several panels, and a few would strike-up conversations about the design with their date, whomever was selling tickets, one of us Rebels, etc.
