•A replica of Gordon Brown’s glass eye stuck to a wall and painted over in blue paint. The Labour Government has its back against a wall and Dave is bearing down on them. A real political statement! And topical too. Jolly good show.
•A jellyfish suspended from a limbo bar with dental floss. Above the piece hangs a heated lamp. As the dead jellyfish melts, it drips into an empty container of cranberry juice. Around the increasingly full container stand precisely 13 garden gnomes with surprised expressions on their faces. What? You don’t get it?! You philistine!
•A semi-raw fried egg on a piece of bread. Not toast, but bread. That’s the beauty of this piece. It is a symbol of modern society’s reluctance to make a real effort with cooking.
•An old, battered fire extinguisher covered in blood* and paperwork. This illustrates how modern health and safety legislation’s infuriating focus on bureaucracy has lead to the neglect of more important issues in the modern workplace.
•A huge glass tank full of balls. In it, there are 4 different colours. Mainly blue but quite a bit of red too. Yellows are here and there, and there is a single green one. They are made of different materials; the properties of which are metaphors for the future of Britain. The red ones are dangerous; they contain potentially lethal gas. You MUST stay away from them or it will be horrible for sure! But there’s so many of them! The blue ones are kind of like a game of Russian Roulette; sometimes you’ll be ok but you just know at the back of your mind that you’re taking a risk. The yellow ones are harmless; they’re full of water. Nothing happens really if you pick one of these. Bit of a cop-out. The green one is made of recycled leaves. If you pick it out you have to drive a Prius for 4 years. But on the bright side, if it happens, you can guarantee it will never happen again! Standing next to the tank is a blind man. He must choose one.
Can you tell what it is yet?!
