Consumption 24/7 - 2006

South Central Shopping Centre, Unit 20, The Mall, Southgate Street, Bath

This multi-media installation draws a parallel with Materialism and Capitalism in the context of the shopping centre. The work incorporates leeches feeding as an analogy for increased competition and greed in society and business in Western cultures. The leeches, used as a metaphor, are shown feeding over a constant 24 hour video stream here representing the relationship between the ‘proletariat’ and the ‘bourgeoisie’.

The screen is viewed through peep-holes in the plate-glass window of the shop, and the sound filled the walkways of the shopping centre.
