This concept was developed using still photographs taken by Andrés Kolbeinsson of the 1968 Jean-Paul Sartre play "No Exit.” Van Helten based the designs on the imagery found within the screenplay and installed at the site over the winter of 2013–2014 at the Loftkastalinn building - a former theatre space in Reykjavik, Iceland.
