Looking Down on Oppression 2014
3 people in nude clothing, inside of 3 double wide sealed off plastic bags, with small fork holes. 4 flashlights. A set of recessed stairs, clip lights.
3 people climb 2 flights of stairs very slowly in an onerous and labored way. They are aware of their containers, their struggle, and the audience looking down on them. The space around their bodies is made visible through the plastic. The audience, when coming upon the hole to the stairs below, are handed flashlights and encouraged to illuminate what they want to see. Struggled breathing and rustling plastic can be heard.
