The fist thing I saw, when I just walked in, was a huge

 transparent cube, filled with hundreds of flies.

the special ventilation slits, the stink of the rotten meet 

was spreading all around.

the stinky cube.

Even though I think this part of the exhibition worth a 

thorougher look and thought, I can not blame them for 

such a lack of interest.



To me, this cube brought together
