Comic gutters are a technique that explore how readers deal with the scripted existence and how they might attempt to rewrite the stories. They share a similar essence to theatrical performances, where characters play their roles similar to actors on a stage. During the performances, "intermissions" are provided to give the audience moments to reflect and build anticipation. Intermissions serve as an opportunity for the audience to absorb and process the emotions, themes, and messages, creating a more immersive and engaging experience. The gutter in comics serve a similar purpose, allowing readers to reinterpret the story and discover new or hidden meanings. This design intends to incorporate a range of transparency levels, inviting visitors to explore and interpret the space according to their perspectives. Customers can take short or long intermissions, providing them with the opportunity to immerse themselves from day to night. This environment provides a diverse experience for visitors, where they can explore comic books and satisfy their curiosity along the way.
