GAS BAG

ANDY BEST & MERJA PUUSTINEN FINLAND

Gas Bag is a piece specially commissioned for EDIBLE. From the outside, it has the appearance of an enormous model of a human stomach. However, those venturing inside the inflatable sculpture will be met by a surreal landscape, as they travel through the digestive system with obscure and fantastical items. The audience may help the cannibal’s digestion by bombarding one another with bacteria, pills and acids while their movements trigger sounds of the digestive system in action. Gas Bag breaks down the traditional boundaries between the viewer and the art work, introducing an element of play and giving the audience the opportunity to interact with each other whilst exploring the digestive process
