Roomshirt, 2002
Room installation
sweatshirt cloth
School of the Art Institute, Chicago

The room shirt is a meeting room for heads. The sweatshirt cloth with turtle necks divides body and head in two parts and thus creates a new situation of communication. As you cant see your body while talking it becomes amazingly important. The outside viewer can see the bodies without heads, and the heads through a minimizing lens in the door. The different heights of the participating people are forming a landscape. The shirt becomes the collective body of the group.
