The space of the threshold being visible to the public loses a sense of security for the occupant and is transformed into a kind of 'absolute'.

The chairs are the stars of the threshold, thrust in to the limelight and into possible immortality.

"It is the threshold between dreaming and awakeing between subjectivity of the interior and the objectivity of reality; between mythical power that images hold and their genuine form of knowledge".[17]

"It is the crossroad that must be eliminated so that the surrealist experience can come forward".[18]
