In "Art and Objecthood", Michael Fried derisively labels art that acknowledges the viewer as "theatrical" (Fried 45). There is a strong parallel between installation and theater: both play to a viewer who is expected to be at once immersed in the sensory / narrative experience that surrounds him and maintain a degree of self-identity as a viewer.
Salcedo's installation took the form of a 548-foot (167-metre) long, meandering crack in the floor of the Turbine Hall, a hairline crack at one end which expanded to a few inches of width and around two feet of depth at the other.

Robert Walter Irwin (September 12, 1928 – October 25, 2023) was an American installation artist who explored perception and the conditional in art, often through site-specific, architectural interventions that alter the physical, sensory and temporal experience of space.
The artwork strongly divided critics and other artists. [10] Rachel Campbell-Johnston , art critic for The Times , wrote: "His flickering installation may mean everything or it may mean nothing, but at least it gives the viewer something to look at, something more interesting than plotless movies and planks of wood."
