An exploration of incarceration and transformation - features a prison bed upon which is found a standard issue prison suitcase filled with an assortment of objects: a prison blanket, pillow and sheet; and various personal items.
The viewer is invited to open the suitcase, consider and select any items to arrange upon and around the bed to create a personal artistic statement about incarceration.
The viewer is then invited to write about his or her statement in the Book of Fame which is open for other viewers to read.
The installation remains on display for a minimun of 15 minutes. Other viewers are invited to write their comments about this and other installations in the Book of Fame.
Installations are also documented through digital photos and subsequently posted online. |
