ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF MEASURING THE MISSING
We were measuring the light well when a stranger walked past with a Vault magazine in a bag missing its centre.

Unseen by the stranger, the missing centre hung on the wall as a painting. Astonished, we tried to measure the coincidence, but it passed too quickly.
