AVENUE by Nicolas Sassoon at Link Cabinet – Documentation

From May 5 to June 4, 2017 Link Cabinet presented AVENUE, a work by Nicolas Sassoon.   AVENUE is a large animated GIF which dimensions deliberately exceed the size of the screen, forcing the viewer to penetrate into an hypnotic portrayal of an architectural space.
