Navigation through the installation:
The exhibition consists of an inflatable structure contained by scaffolding. Within the structure there are two ‘spaces’ the first space, the progress room, features light boxes, emitting a white light, with imagery from Robyn Lynch’s archive and journal pages. Deconstructed garments will be hanging from scaffolding cut offs suspended from the ceiling, lit by three bright white spotlights.
Through hanging green fabric you will enter into the second ‘room’ which features a video of clips from the past 5 years since the brand ‘Robyn Lynch’ was established. Here there is a bench to sit on, with enough space left to fit a wheelchair. The video lasts 39 minutes and 29 seconds and is set on a loop.
Exit through the back of the structure. And move around the right to a screen where there is a motion censored installation in collaboration with Kepler. Stand in front of the motion sensor and you will see yourself on screen, wearing Robyn Lynch clothing. The video can pick up up to 6 people in the frame.
