Pear's documentation and post-analysis on "Fairy's Trap"




 Fairy's Trap in the Night
          
Before the Installation

          My friends had been walking around the fairy's trap for awhile and they were pretty tired so all they did was sitting on the landing. They really enjoyed it, some of them even said it's like they're trapped in it.


Ascending 

           Most people walked upstairs on their first try, seems like they can't completely trust the installation but that's natural. Only crazy ones (i.e. me) run and dash on it, hurting themselves.


Descending

         And as expected, as people keep asking me what the installation is, I just told them it's a slider and most people play it just like one until I told them there are other ways to descend the stairs


Video Recording

I apologize for the darkness, it was because of the electricity problem that caused the whole building to be so dark and the emergency lights were the only light sources that day. My site is fortunately right under the life saver.

Dear Aj.Bea and Aj. Henrik, I recovered the "lost" videos, fortunately :)

        "It's so soft!" is the feedback that this trap received the most as expected from consisting of mattresses and pillows. Other responds are "This is pretty scary" and "It was fun!" and those are what I expected, success! But not as many people stayed on the installation (lying, sitting, grabbing the pillows etc.) so it's still a very short term trap, it was probably the steepness or that people are aware of what has been done to the fabric...
         Looks like a "cleaner" and wider installation would work much better but seeing it getting mostly positive responds, I'm glad to have made this project comes to life.
