Mitchell and Norman | 2006

Essentially a two-part work, a full-scale, semi-realistic domestic landing space was built in the gallery, which the viewer was encouraged to enter; and in another – inaccessible – building off-site was a constructed warehouse/storeroom environment that the artists occupied and fulfilled the roles of workers performing ambiguous yet familiarly mundane tasks. This was shown via live-link CCTV on a monitor located on the outside of the landing space in the gallery. Both through a literal association (the recurring view through the doorway which is replicated in the second space in a large-scale photograph) and in a psychological sense, the viewer is encouraged to make links between the two spaces, the one they can experience physically and the other they can only experience visually from a static viewpoint.
