'Biorama # ...' series

Biorama # 20

"Biorama#…" continues the thematic structure of "In memoriam" with framed images and objects that explore the archaeology of my past. This series also examines how artefacts are displayed in museums whose function has shifted from a static storage facility of objects to a social space that articulates boundaries shared by archaeology as a scientific paradigm and the place of contemporary visual arts in (post)-modern contexts.

Mixing roles of education and spectacle, the museum has a long and complex history, but according to Kevin Walsh (2003, p106) the diorama was first constructed as a picturesque spatial installation that linked objects, figures and simulated environments by Louis J. M. Daguerre and Charles Marie Bouton in 1823. Consisting of painted gauze and lights, the diorama gave the impression of movement including sound effects and wax effigies to describe battle scenes and other historic and spectacular events.
