Phone Booth Installation Proposal and Flyer

Phone Booth Proposal: El Paso Film Installation

The work will be installed in an abandoned phone booth in first corridor on the northern face of the music department. The location has been chosen to be inline with the artist's previous work that explores the dynamic create by situating mixed media work within liminal spaces.

The proposal is to create an environment within the booth that recalls ideas explored as a participant of the 2009 Land Arts program. The booth will be filled half with sand, on top on the sand will be a television set which will play a film made by the artist in El Paso. The film flips between scenes of a lonely girl sitting by a freeway with images of a lively bar. The piece explores ideas of placement and displacement, belonging and dispossession.

The materials included will be sand, a retainer for the sand, a television set and a red light. The work will be solely contained within the booth and will not obstruct the corridor in any way. Sound will emanate from the booth and the power socket to the right of the booth will be employed to power the television set.
