197a An Exhibition of Imaginary Art
Screens cover the walls on either side and the far end of the hall up to the height of the parallel girder that is on the southern side. These form a zig zag shape, rather than being completely flat.
Onto these screens are, in some places projected (in a changing slideshow) and others printed, a series of Imaginary Artworks for people to stand, or sit, and read and imagine. Elsewhere are stickers on the floor with shorter Imaginary Art examples and tablets on plinths and table tops on which visitors can browse the whole blog or a slideshow. These are placed so that visitors have to stand facing in different directions.
These works are supplemented by boards giving a background to Imaginary Art and workshops encouraging visitors to create their own. Slowly, the results of these workshops are worked into the slideshows of Imaginary Art.
197b People at an Exhibition
Boards on the bridge across the Turbine Hall and on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Floor viewing points invite visitors to watch those who are viewing An Exhibition of Imaginary Art.
They ask visitors to look at how people are portraying themselves, to see how they look in any given moment, to think about the impressions they give out and how the viewer sees them, before imploring them to find a mirror and ask the same questions about themself.
