print room @ Fresh from the oven

Performance installation made in response to the enclosed, windowed screenprint studio at Coachwerks during our event Fresh from the oven.

Two small cameras were attached to the glass on the outside of the enclosed space. The window was completely covered with blank photo papers (with a sticky back) from the inside and the performer, wearing a paper dress, was inside on the print table with a printer.

The idea was for the audience to use the cameras to 'view' and capture the performer from the outside of the window, the photos taken would immediately be sent to print on the printer next to the performer. She would gradually remove the blank papers from the window, put them through the printer - printing the audience's 'view' of her - and then cover her body in these prints.

But ... the printer broke after the second print... aaaaaah! Instead I just carried on putting the white stickers on me while people took photos through the glass. Not quite what I expected but people seem to have enjoyed in anyway.... Here are some of the photos.
