Skin Condition, 2008
2 minutes, 20 seconds
Site-specific installation and video


For this installation, the original Skin Condition video (below) played on the hotel room television and all other elements of the space were altered with brightly colored paper veneer including paper bedding, paper buttons on the telephone, and paper toilet paper. There was also an illuminated human silhouette in the bed and loud continuous bass audio. Movement throughout the room activated additional light and sound elements.
