Installation at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (2003)

Part of the Red Asphalt and Acme Product Series in collaboration with Noam Toran, Domestic Demolition Derby was an installation of three hundred domestic objects donated to the public to destroy. Equipped with hammers, bats, punching gloves and protected with various safety equipment, the public were allowed to massacre any object they liked. This “right to behave badly” in front of a large audience turned the installation into a fascinating experiment in ethics and revealed various ways that we project identity onto objects.
