Unscripted (Spyholes)

Intermedia Gallery, Glasgow. 1999

Spyholes, furniture & domestic objects.

At first glance the Intermedia Gallery was empty. However 9 brass spyholes were sunk into the floor, and the only access to the work was by peering into the basement. Each spyhole showed the viewer a small part of a dark, seedy domestic environment. As the viewer's head came close to the holes, different stimuli were experienced, a cooker with burning baked beans from one, Patsy Cline faintly heard from another.
