Spanish term or phrase: El formato intermedio
This is taken from a report presented for a photographic exhibition. This has something to do with the scale of the project in question, but I know I'm missing a clearer English term here.


El formato intermedio del proyecto, cuyo diseño permite un sorprendente recorrido visual, representa un simbólico montana que simula los picos montañosos que emergen del hielo.

Thanks.

Explanation:
Seems from the (little) context that it describes the exhibition design or support structure rather than the work itself.

Thanks for this and to all others who helped. I took mid-size, since it was referring to an installation more than the photos themselves. However, I know that the context wasn't clear. X
