Flying Syringe Carpet

Vast amount of medicine has to be distributed across the Globe. I created ‘Flying Syringe Carpet 2021’, a prototype of a communal vehicle that provides transportation of the vaccines. I aim to create an environment in the gallery space where the public can experience the uncertainly trembling syringes. The carpet is assembled out of aluminum plates which are known from central places at social events serving food and snacks. The trays are decorated with 3 different kinds of gold application; gold spray, gold leaf on top of wax and gold colored aluminum plates. The red tassels on the corners can evoke bird feathers or 3 dimensional projection of the microscopic image of a contemporary virus. The carpet is hovering upside down above two industrial drum fans.
