25 metres long, comprised entirely of strips of videotape, stretched taut between two plywood walls. Walking through Tube is a sensory happening, rather than solely an object to look at; it is necessary to physically enter its space in order to gain the full experience. As one walked down the narrow pathway, the body's own movement caused reciprocal vibration on the part of the surround 'walls' of videotape which made up the corridor, a result of the stirred air currents.
