Each time a visitor walked through the revolving door the filmprojection started: the man walked into the train, changed his clothes, stepped out of the train etc. The space inside a revolving door is not inside nor outside; you are “in the door”, which is a kind of “non-space”. – Actor: Marc Geerards – Camera: Marianne Theunissen.
