Responding to the exhibition brief of 'art, as a shifter of perceptions,... a terrain which can change how we think about ourselves and the world' Rich settled on the form of a watchtower - drawing on ideas of protection and defense, as well as places of physical and mental control such as prisons and concentration camps.

Rich was provided with a large amount of timbers and boards which he could use under one condition: he could not cut them.
