This exhibition design is centered around a clock motif echoed by an audio reel of rhythmic ticking. Visitors are guided through a condensed, dark hallway by animated, illuminated tick marks on the walls. The graphic lines of light continue into the two exhibition halls where linear LED tick marks in the ceiling and at the plinth continue the journey through time by delineating each pair of associated garments. The light ticks are methodically calibrated to have presence while preserving the strict light level requirements at the garments. Discreet surface-mounted accent lights highlight each exhibition piece from above. A swinging pendulum in the center of the first gallery space is inconspicuously illuminated from above with small framing projectors as it keeps time with the ticking audio in the background.

Viewers emerge from the darkly-lit connecting portal into the second exhibition hall, where contrast is used to give the sense of an enhanced, perceived brightness. The futuristic exhibition design features full mirrored ceiling and wall surfaces that reflect the garments and spiraling light ticks to depict the infinite nature of time. A low-profile recessed track system, with carefully shielded point sources, allows the viewer to experience the infinite reflections surrounding them with minimal intrusion from the overhead lighting. The exhibition concludes with a final showcase piece surrounded by physical fabric swatches illuminated from above paired with projected, dynamic swatches that appear to be emanating from the garment itself.
