COMME des GARÇONS, FRANKEINSTEIN
2016
My installation resides within London’s Dover Street Market, a 4 story retail space of high-end fashion, design, and art. My large-scale photographs from my series “Reflections on Frankenstein” become an interior skin to the architecture of the store. The contemporary “Frankenstein monsters” pictured in this series are ultra-high vacuum chambers used in designing, constructing and operating state-of-the-art electron accelerators and related experiments in high-energy physics and synchrotron radiation research. There is a sense of beauty and a human quality to these machines that can also appear as monsters with multiple arms or numerous sets of eyes.
