Two glasses are mounted in a wood frame. The one that is a
fixture is painted black with a rectangular blank space, thus forming a kind of
frame around the picture. The other glass is free to move in a lateral
direction. This slipping glass contains the two phases from the story as one
continuing picture. By moving this glass, alternately one half of the picture is visible through the blank window of the fixed glass while the other half is hidden behind the black paint. |
