Greek firm Point Supreme Architects have completed an installation for a gallery in Athens that is a half-size replica of the room in which it sits.

Two visual artists, a performance artist and a musician created work to be experienced in both the existing room and its miniature version.

For installation and performance piece Point Supreme Architects replicated the exhibition gallery space from blue foam at half its size; visitors simultaneously experience the space and its replica, the gallery and its model.
