I've been arrested in Seattle, and placed in isolation for three days.

Although there's a window at the entry of the cell I rarely looked out of it. There was also a window to the outside world, which I rarely looked out of. The primary reason was that you are basically looking out a window where that are nothing more than a series of more windows.

I was given a book to read, don't recall what it was. Most of the time I paced the floors. On the second day I began seeing shadows, and was talking to myself a bit.

I felt like I was losing my mind.

Isolation is torture. If after three days I was getting looped out of my head, I would imagine individuals who are in isolation for weeks, months or year, they are out of their fucking mind.

I suggest the artist capture the truth about isolation, not just one hour. Find some individuals who will endure at least 3 days of isolation, and watch where that takes you.

Peace out.

Dear Shirtless - I certainly thought about putting folks in isolation for longer than an hour but three days? That is asking an awful lot of all the participants - also, I'd have to feed them and care for them. That was not my agenda here. They acted out the idea of long-term isolation and, even at an hour, it was more than effective for several of them.
