The accessible corridor is a dead space inside the museum (it serves primarily as a passage and exit rather than space for display of art). But the museum is a dead space in itself, being an empty area, cut off from the world.
The work uses the institutional genre of decoration, prevalent in government institutions, libraries, and hospitals, maybe it even creates a subtle parody of this genre by bringing together the institutional space and the museum space.
The decoration in a government institution usually uses the features of the modern abstract in its aim to fill an empty space or to create in it an illusion of fullness, which is the essence of that institution, thus perhaps distracting from the false truth.
The fictitious kinetics of the work illustrate a similar sense of illusion, as any possibility of movement is only a variation, and all that is left for a few circles and rectangles to do is to create a face with eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth.”
