The Bourreaucrat - The Installation |
The Bourreaucrat
is an installation art work representing one unique manifestation of An
Embassy Without A Country.
In this manifestation of An Embassy Without
A Country, The Bourreaucrat Apparatus, The Assistant Interrogator, The
Chairman's Chair and The Gate all form a part of an installation that
recreates a fictional setting or virtual embassy in which you enter through
"The Gate," a passage reminiscent of the security gates at contemporary
airports. Within the compound an apparatus dispenses certificates of authority,
prestige and authenticity, never taking a moment to sit in its very own
Chairman's Chair while assisted by the computerized interrogator. Other
Embassies were also on display at this installation, including a video
of The Dance of the Nine Prostrations.
