PANIC BOLT
–

Studio 12 Exhibition

Panic Bolt presented an arresting and layered architectural space - recreating a constructed, transitional environment over the existing architecture of Studio 12. The resultant installation created an uncanny transient place, that lead nowhere but still contained the viewer/participant within its confines - like a hallway without an exit, or a hidden space not designed for human interaction. The unnerving effect of the installation was enhanced by its floor, which had been covered in a thin layer of glass - rendering each move or footstep as a potential act of destruction. Panic Bolt created a tense, claustrophobic environment in which the structure and presence of architecture developed an uneasy relationship with the human body.
