The represented linear figures are formed, in reference to the criminal markings, made by the police to determine the position of a corpse in murder. Yet these figures do not intend to go on with that approach. The figure hiding a hammer behind his back is placed on a column to underline the secrecy of the hammer. The other figure whose head was damaged with a hammer slides from the panel to the ground. In this way, the ground plane is included to the work. “Intervention to Space” is made with these figures which are longing to get out of that space and they are positioned to utilize the three dimensionality of the space to the maximum.
