Holler, born in 1961, shows the Kafkaesque situation of the individual in life by taking the visitors through a series of dark corridors in the first installation, \"Decision Corridors\", while the second, \"Flying Mushrooms\", refers to the film \"Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory\"; these audience-participation works can become boring.
