The second room , Chandelier of Grief 2016 is first encountered in the gallery setting as a white hexagonal structure , measuring nearly four metres high . The viewer is permitted to enter the room via a sliding door and , once this is closed behind them , enters into a mirrored environment in which a sole light source is a baroque-style chandelier suspended above head-height from the ceiling of the structure . The chandelier is fixed to a rotating mechanism and , combined with its flickering , pulsating lights and the mirrored walls , is intended to create a destabilising yet mesmerising effect .
