A piece of art hangs on the wall.

Visitors stand in front of it to look.

They crane their heads to the side.

They climb a ladder.

They walk to the back of the theatre.

They hang upside down.

They close their eyes and run their hands across the canvas.

They sit cross-legged on the floor.

They lie down, arms behind their heads as if staring at the clouds.

They turn the canvas around and look at the back of the frame.

They put the painting on the floor and look down.

Then, they hang it up and stand in front of it again.
