I was underwhelmed by this installation. Having read a bit about the concept behind it prior to visiting, "In breaking open the floor of the museum, Salcedo is exposing a fracture in modernity itself. Her work encourages us to confront uncomfortable truths about our history and about ourselves with absolute candidness, and without self-deception." (http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/dorissalcedo/default.shtm)
I expected a more inspiring installation or a bigger crack maybe.
It was definately unique and quite an interesting study in spatial uses and interpretation, but seemed too reserved an installation for such a powerful concept.
