Adding a new layer on the other side of the installation means that I am getting close to the end and the degree show installing.
Here is the layer: What I enjoy about the work is the thickness of it. The colours work well together and still make a contrast to each other.

Here is my plan for the show, a little drawing with numbers needed to get the measurements right.
Because each A3 canvas weights around 0,3 kg and on each of the wires that go across the space will be 3 of them, the wire needs to be able to carry at least a kilo of weight. That is why I bought a wire capable of carrying as much as 50lbs and is 31 meters long (which should be enough even for the canvases that will hang from the wire).
For its fixing, I have decided to use the eye hooks. It will be easy to get them drilled into the top of the walls and to screw them into the paintings as well.
| I dont mind ruining the top of the paintings because as I said, the painting is an installation | The wood, or the frame on which the canvas is stretched on is soft, so screwing in the hooks is easy and quick. I will just need to measure in which two spots they will be screwed in as I need them to be balanced

The blue canvas is just a test, not the painting for the installation. The testing for the sizes of hooks.

30 May 2022 update
After two days of painting the walls of our spaces, I tried to play with the possible placements of the paintings. I therefore created a drawing in space. The main focus here was on deciding how far from each other the paintings should be and if it responds to my previous sketch. (In my first drawing, the space between the paintings was 2m, the decision of 1,5m was visually better in the end). A decision of which side goes where was the other essential thing as the windows or the door that are behind the work can change the way the installation looks. I have decided to put the green side where you can see the door in the back and pink with windows.
Here is what the top of the paintings look like. What I tried before with the hooks worked out in the end.
I go the help of technicians and got my wires where they needed to be and could use my fishing wire to hang my paintings.
With some fails on the way and imbalanced paintings, I still managed to put all of them up. I did not focus here on any measurements.
Here is photos from when I measured everything and made every painting straight.
