FLESHold was created by six 3rd year QUT interior design students as apart of "Changing Lanes", the Friday night launch party for Brisbane InDesign 2012. Inspired by Marina Abramovic and Ulay's performance art piece "Imponderabilia" (1977), FLESHold challenges the traditional notions of personal space and what it means to be a tactile human being. It is a comment on the “skin hunger” of contemporary society, developed as a result of a life bombarded with deceivingly disconnecting technology.
6 weeks to go...
Before we were able to progress any further it was necessary to meet with Ian Wrightson of Wrightson Stewart to gain permission to install in his doorway. We were all quite nervous about the kind of reception the piece would receive. Luckily for us, Ian loved the idea.
So away we skipped on our merry way, off to make a FLESHold.
