thermoplastic sheet and hot glue on wall

130” x 59” x 130”

Bury St. Edmunds, 2006

This site-specific installation brought the futuristic interior of a space shuttle to a section of the museum corridor, partially transporting the viewer into a world of science fiction while at the same time reminding them of the illusion in the juxtaposition of the installation with the rest of the museum's natural architecture. It was made for the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation for the 7 Artistas ao 10º Mês exhibition. The reflective surface of the black thermoplastic sheet highlights the participation of the viewer's own imagination in experiencing the illusion.
