How to participate?
A foreign being sits on a pedestal, symbolizing a problem. The first photo shows it naked and untouched. Visitors are invited to randomly place band-aids on it, which can be layered on top of one another, growing like a disease. This changes the shape of the figure. To document these changes, photos are taken periodically and displayed next to the original photo.
The act of ‘placing band-aids’ represents how problems are often dealt with. Frequently, problems are not addressed at their core, and only superficial solutions are applied. A band-aid is placed over the wound, covering the issue but changing little to nothing fundamentally.
Essentially, the visitor repeats the same ineffective action. The problem is covered up, and after a while, it disappears from view, but the figure morphs into an even stranger form.
