Security Theatre: Pulmonate 2016, 42”x180x180 (approx.) vinyl, felt, canvas, thread, steel, wood, hardware, air & 5 human subjects

This work is a refinement of a previous piece, “Camp X” inspired by the early images of Guantanamo Bay prisoners. Initially I had used blowers to supply air to the people imprisoned inside the vinyl and felt structures, but the use of bellows, operated by viewers at once mimicked the action of lungs and implicate the viewer in the action.
