As so often with the Turner Prize, this created a great deal of press attention, most of it questioning whether something as minimalist as this could be considered art at all.

Each set of questions slowly dissolves into the next. The questions range from the profound to the trivial. Examples include: ""Can I restore my innocence?,"" ""Why does the earth turn around once a day?,"" ""Does a hidden tunnel lead directly to the kitchen?"" and ""Does a ghost drive my car around at night?"" The installation was the culmination of a series of works composed of absurd questions, including a book"

The suspended sculpture consists of fabric-covered aluminum blades. Each blade has eight channels of LED lights, and each light is individually controlled by a computer. As more people enter the central gallery were the sculpture is located, more lights flicker. Every 30 minutes, the songs ""This Little Light of Mine"" and ""Ain't Gonna' Let Nobody Turn Me Around"" play while the lights flicker and appear to move in time with the music.

The first major survey show of Creed's, 'What's the point of it?', took place at the Hayward Gallery, London, in January 2014.

Later that year, Burden performed his piece ""White Light/White Heat"" at the Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York. For this work of experiment performance and self-inflicting danger, Burden spent twenty-two days lying on a triangular platform in the corner of the gallery. He was out of sight from all viewers and he could not see them either. According to Burden, he did not eat, talk, or come down the entire time. Several of Burden's other performance pieces were considered somewhat controversial at the time:"
"what it meant, and why he wanted to make things. He says: Creed says that he makes art works not as part of an academic exploration of 'conceptual' art, but rather from a wish to connect with people, 'wanting to communicate and wanting to say hello'. The work is therefore primarily emotional: In 1996, Richard Long and Roger Ackling selected Creed to exhibit at EASTinternational. In the decade since winning the Turner Prize he has exhibited extensively throughout the world, including large survey shows at Trussardi Foundation, Milan ('I Like Things'), Bard College, New York ('Feelings'), and a touring exhibition"

The entrance of the tunnel is goblet-shaped, featuring an interior and exterior surface that is circular, making minimal contact with the ground.
