Cameron Bishop, Excesskin, 2003

Excesskin Cameron Bishop

25 November 2003 - 6 December 2003

Cameron Bishop wants to break the logic of the tourist, to release it from its perfected, paid-for-in-advance and on credit image. In this show he will recognise a different kind of tourist the one that never quite makes it, the tourist that is constantly threatening the body/states margins but is never allowed entry. These tourists are the asylum seekers, the indigenous, the poor and the absent of this world. Bishop will approach these issues with his inflated absences a series of latex baths, each more decayed than the other, each of them floating in the space and moving with the rhythms of the atmosphere.
