Space Garbage

Space Garbage est 2004 "Space Garbage" is a life-sized, immersive installation that references classic science fiction movie set design.

Disposable materials like styrofoam shipping blocks, vacuformed plastic take-out containers, cardboard tubes, foamcore scraps, and other twenty-first century detritus are repurposed to become engine-room components and spaceship corridors. Upon entering the space, the viewer encounters a world that is alternately recognizable and novel, depending on one’s proximity. From afar "Space Garbage" looks

unified and intact. But up close one begins to see the mundane origins of each individual component, and then the crude materials reveal themselves.
