Description
An alternating transparent and translucent glass surface that stimulates reflections, reveals/conceals different light shapes, discloses images, frames videos and eludes the perception of the boundaries.
The unending movement of the spontaneous line surrounds the available space, hiding corners and eliminating boudaries. On one side, a wall of uniform light ending with a vertical blue LED light that refers to BMWi. On the other side, round car headlights that swich to become visible, and then switch off, and disappear. 
The lightng in the ceilling, apparently scattered at random, take us to the worlds of high-speed movement, based on a clean design that allows the cars on display to express the importance of the project essence.
