In 2003, artist Anna Schuleit was commissioned to create an installation for the Massachusetts Mental Health Centre, prior to its closure for renovation. In the space of three months she filled the multi-level building entirely with flowers in full bloom, including the swimming pool in the basement which she filled with African Violets and the 1950's style PA system was used to broadcast the sounds of footsteps in the hallways, patients voices and doctors conversations which the artist recorded in the weeks leading up to the buildings closure. Her objective was to fill the mental health centre with the colour it was usually void of.
