Fruin has created the whole house with garden of colored plexiglass recovery and using steel. It includes details such as pin door hinges with handmade and different operable windows Mouted. The plexi sourced locally came from all over Copenhagen: a plexiglass distribution deceased, a picture framing shop closing, in the basement of the Danish State Art Workshop, and dumpsters outside the Danish Architecture Center.

During his sculpture exhibition is enlivened by performances that explore the concrete poetry of poet Danish Vagn Steen, with computer-controlled light sequences Nuno Neto, Mikkel Jensen and Frantisek Fabian, a sound installation by Astrid Lomholt, and costumes Camilla Lind.
The art therefore always meet all materials: light, steel, poetry and technology. And when it happens rarely comes out work so well it has done.
