i laughed first (part II)

It used to be that in a particular age in childhood, exactly around the age of 6 very basic jokes were being told in a repetitive and dare say, silly manner. I still recall my cousin's favorite:

-"Do you want me to tell you a joke backwards?"

--Uhm I guess so, yeah, ok

-"Well, laugh first"

After this he would laugh at his own joke and would proceed to look for a new victim to fall for it. There is certain joy on tricking people, through the years people have been led or misled as to which the way visitors should see the exhibits at the Guggenheim, where thevisitor should take the elevator to the upper level and "descend down from the Heavens"
And so I like to believe, it is meant to be seen like that, I like to believe it's a polished Dante's concentric structure, so for this particular exhibit, my cousin's joke decided play a part on my personal experience....
