‘Immobilisations’
2018
Installation on-site at Bold Tendencies, London
This installation adopted the interior of a shipping specialist Pack&Send in Elephant and Castle including their packaging method Foam-In-Place. These bespoke foam moulds, commonly used to create customised cradles for fragile objects in transit, were the basis for a new series of on-site sculptures. The very same expantion foam pillows also get applied in hospital contexts for patient immobilisation during computed tomography scans and other medical imaging. Accordingly, the packed objects in the installation were sculptures derived from anthropomorphic training phantoms; medical dummies used in preparation of radiography and CT scanning.
This work also eventuated in theunboxing video ‘Immobilisation’, filmed at the original site of the shipping specialists and subsequently published by Oxford Artistic and Practice Research Platform.
