Polish artist Monika Sosnowska builds sitespecific structures out of MDF and wood, then paints them with household gloss in colours reminiscent of dreary Eastern bloc architecture.

Here, she has built a sludge-coloured, low-ceilinged and sharply angled structure through which you'll find a series of short, zig-zagging passageways, occasionally leading to a dead end. Evidently, it's all designed to induce a feeling of anxiety, disorientation and claustrophobia. But, though you do get a little confused in the course of your five-minute spin-around, the effect is largely underwhelming.

Perhaps it's just not a big enough space. Walk through any isolated, abandoned public building, and you'll certainly find a much greater impact.

Until Jan 16, Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens W2, daily 10am to 6pm, free.
