This is an installation at Basespace, located at 280 South Columbus Street. At its center is a 1/28-scale model of Basespace outlined with threads. Each extending thread determines an infinite number of concentric points corresponding to a single point in the Basespace. Any point on any thread can evolve into a concentric, scaled-down version of the Basespace. The threads are coated with white paint.
