installation 'Tourist'





Child Labour this is an installation that i did last year for my FMP. The brief was called 'Tourism'. I thought about this installation for a very long time trying to figure out what the word 'tourism' meant to me and to the viewer.
Got the technicians to make me shelves for the shoes, made labels with childrens names on which were pakistani. Gathered shoes from neighbours and other various people.
Got a 6" inch tv which i edited numbers, words,signs and voices.(That was on a loop) throughout the duration of the FMP open evening. You become the tourist by looking at the installation.


close up of my installation.


found this shoe on a beach and i put a speech on the shoe which was spoken in gugarriti. And from that I type up the words and pasted the words on the shoes.
