About this work

This sketch shows a square room with a spiral of circles drawn on the floor. The walls are marked with red lines, and there’s a small diagram of a pipe at eye level in one corner. Handwritten notes explain how to place glass lines and shoot bullets into pipes. The artist used simple shapes and measurements to create the design. The instructions look like a mix of art and science, almost like a puzzle. Want to see more? Check out The Museum of Modern Art.
