Metabolism
Description
A temporary installation in the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art. A hole is cut into a sealed over fireplace in what was once a boy's classroom.. A sound work is placed inside the chimney of a lesson being given on the human digestive system. A stream of red pencils seems to flow from the chimney through a hole in the floor. The sound track is very quiet. The smell of camphor flakes wafts up with the air movements within the chimney.
