Cornelia Parker - Rebecca Hayman

Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View

Cold Dark Matter is an installation made up of fragments of a shed that was created by firstly filling a shed with objects from Cornelia's and her friends’ sheds and then being blown up by the army under very controlled conditions. The objects and fragments of the shed, were collected and suspended in a closed room in an attempt to recreate the moment just after the explosion. The installation is lit with a single light-bulb at the centre of the installation, casting shadows on the walls.
I absolutely love all the shadows that are cast on the walls and how many shadows there are! I would love to create something that could cast that many shadows I think it looks amazing and really exciting!
