SEA SICKNESS ON DRY LAND 2008 (video still)
Cardboard box (90cm x 151cm x 138cm), horn tannoy speaker, light bulb, CCTV monitor, DVD audio recordings and animated text
Inside a shabbily constructed cardboard shelter, recordings of the artist sleep-talking are played out via a grey horn tannoy speaker reminiscent of those found in public spaces such as office buildings and train stations. Outside the box, attempted translations of the sounds into language are displayed on a cctv monitor. Phrases such as 'Nyeen Cocky Drape' 'No, no their not freintish that' and 'Mama' pivot between familiarity and nonsense, humour and a sense of uncomfortable intimacy.
