Here is a video of it: http://youtu.be/GxmNAquU9I8
The 1st two tents were a maze of translucent materials such as tulle fabrics & colored cellophane that the audience walked through. The third tent was a workshop that prompted audience to write a thought about prop. B or C on cellophane. Prop. B & C concern air pollution in this specific community of Barrio Logan. These writings were added into the maze, thus evolving its design.
Rogalski calls this sort of work a "Walk-in-Painting". As audience enters the painting they appeared to go deeper & deeper into a series of colored glazes in the form of cellophane & tulle walls. People on the outside were able to see the people on the interior as part of the art.
The Workshop Area was walled with newspaper articles blown up large on panels., along with large black & white photos of the 5 freeway, the shipyards, children, a graph of local air pollution, a graph of economy & employment. The workshop will offered cellophane for the audience to write on and then add into the maze.

The maze itself was two rooms, representative of a child’s lungs. Each lung hosted a series of arguments pro & con, concerning proposition B & C.
