This project, which has gone through two iterations, was made in response to the increasing immobility of humans due to screen-based technology. The first iteration, sewn out of satin, engaged viewers with a video about technology and immobility as they sat inside the “coffin.” The second iteration of Screening Coffin involves a classic, wedged shape coffin that stands upright on a pedestal. Gallery visitors sit inside the coffin and watch a video on a laptop embedded into the coffin lid.
