Tate Modern is chosen as a site for appling the issue of subversive space because the exhibitive space itself has many potentials for containing different shows. The museum space is flexible, changeable and playful. How ever I question as a modern museum, why most of ways of exhibitions are still the same as old-fashioned, static, and a little boring.

All images and events put together seem like the series show or performance happening simultaneously. Each block of wall seems the curtains open to show something. Each part has its story and event; when they connect together,It could be a condensed city inside the Tate modern. Event, narration, and time base can be played in the model. Tate Modern is going to be theater.
