A Prototyper, Darkly
‘A Prototyper, Darkly’ is a response to the deindustrialization and subsequent progression of the East End. The temporary exhibit reflects the transiency and ephemerality of the surrounding populous. The project consists of a 36 gramophone exhibit and adjoining curators’ compact living unit situated at the centre of Ely Court.
A railed base allows for interactivity and exploration of the gramophones. Above, units functioning on the principles of reverse inflation form a modular roof over the exhibit. The ‘rail’ notion continues inside the living unit. Variable use of the living space is achieved through interchangeable furniture on a ground and ceiling rail system.
