The image shows a white gallery space. In the front plane, there are two large cardboard boxes with two black stools in front of them. An open folder is lying on top of the cardboard, ready to be examined.

The cardboard with the model on it is closer to the windows, which are on the left side. On the back wall there is a wallpaper which shows a photograph of people walking in the room in which The Bookshop Piece was exhibited.
