I found myself in this container today. I couldn’t move forward I was too scared, so I stood half way. Facing the darkness and looking back to the light. Touching darkness even and feeling doomed! You must experience it, see how brave you are.
It’s not as though the TATE have installed an olympic obstacle course in darkness, I’m pretty sure it’s all safe to walk through. I just couldn’t do it and I really thought I would too......
