ICA Periscope/Lantern/Marquee references
an earlier work, Functional House, a site-specific installation created
with Bob Jones that altered architectural space with mirrors. In true
Tony May fashion, this work serves several purposes -- it is a periscope
with a view of the outside from the inside, a lantern at night, and
a marquee, dramatically altering the facade of the building. |
