Poland's 'Emergency Exit' is an aggregation of metal birdcages, illuminated by fluorescent blue lights in a dark and dramatic smoke-filled room. Through this stacking, the concept is to reference abandoned buildings, uncertain in-between spaces, and those urban safety regulations for the protection against accidents. (Apparently, there was a series of participatory jumpers who leaped into an artificial cloud from the apex of the sculpture—ironically, seems like a bit of an eerie playground where one would probably meet not architecture, but some painful injury.)
