Life support (1998) Thirty constructed butyl air sacs are installed in an arterial space at art. Each sac has a separate air donor who maintains its air pressure through blowing into an inflation tube. Notions of mass collective caring and inter-dependence are explored through the ward imagery. Each donor records the inflations on a quasi medical chart. Intermittent pink and blue light sources creates a underlying viscerality. |
