Sew As 2012 (interactive installation)


My recent installation plan is based on my former interest and research that connecting the meaning of sewing in the different fields. I found that the sewing is a typical penitently work, often used in prisons, in correction institutes, or even in schools.

My idea is based on an old English drawing, found in a book in London. This drawing shows a school-room, where girls sit in rows on a sewing lection. The teacher shows the correct movements and the girls follow her example.

Every lamp, tripod, wire is visible, neither of them hidden. The whole technical apparatus is arranged in order. The construction of the installation let the system visible, not only the installation’s, but may refer to the system of the institutes of the society.

To install my project i need the followings: no walls, 4m X 8m moderate dark place, one spotlight from the ceiling, electricity, a few meter channel cable protector.
