transitional in nature
I'm pretty sure "ellos" refers to the spaces. In art, transitional spaces is a familiar term, whether being used literally (physically) or metaphorically.
Below is an example of it being used in both senses:
Acoustic art in public spaces basically involves installing a space in another existing space, both physically and sensorially, and metaphysically and mentally – an interior space in an exterior space, so to speak. The original quality of sound art lies in the oscillation of interior and exterior space. Thus public spaces intensified by sound art cause transitional spaces to come into being, in a political and a psychoanalytic sense.

Discussion
If you type the artist's name into Google images do you see photo of specific centres, so you can see what type of centre is work is installed in?
