Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain




Not having context leaves us with some uncomfortable mysteries about this strange pair of glass-enclosed chambers. On the right we have our visi-loo, with a "privacy" partition seemingly on the wrong side of the toilet. On the left we have a lumpy futon. But what to make of the eeire emerald lighting? I don't want to see anyone who put their makeup on in there. Looks like the staff had to quickly grab a replacement lamp from the Red Room. How curious, but no longer really surprising, the way the chambers seem to be facing onto a public corridor. And most importantly, what's behind the curtain? You want to find somewhere else to stay, Dorothy. And your little dog, too.

  2. I think the “privacy partition” is actually just a splash guard so the person sitting on the toilet doesn’t get wet while the other person is taking a shower. You can see the showerhead just above the corner of the frosted-glass panel.

    Indeed this one is especially bizarre. I am amused that the whole two-room thing appears to be in a box on little metal feet.
