The art installation was given a feel like an illusion of a bottomless side. It is called "Descent into Limbo (1992)," creates the illusion of an endless void. The hole and sides were coated in black pigment,Ā to make it look like an infinite pool of dark. Looking down into this black hole was described as a dizzying experience.
