Obsolete – Machine no 1 is developed to resemble a demonstrative device as would be commonly seen in science or natural history museums. In this case, the work mechanically displays the engineered properties of a brassiere, and is set on a timer to open and close every seven minutes.
Purposefully didactic and comedic in its expression, the work is inspired by accounts of repressive post-war institutionalized sex education, but is conceived as a museum artifact from the future, demonstrating an obsolete behaviour brought about by developments in genetic engineering and plastic surgery. In collaboration with Nick Williamson.

Commissioned by Alexandra Midal for the Luxembourg Musée d’Art Moderne.
