Real-Doh: Model Citizen

Real-Doh: Model Citizen

Interactive Installation
Dough, 3D-printed Artist Toy
This work is part of a series of ​Real-Doh Toys, examining our sequential gestures with domestic objects to critique our everyday subjectivity and activity. The audience is invited to interact with the 3D-printed artist toys, appropriated from everyday domestic objects into critical tools with the real dough. Through play, the piece seeks to question the unremarkable, immediate things we experience day to day– repetitions, habit-forming, routine, instructions, rules, the mundane, versus the extraordinary, and the tensions which come out of that. Through the familiarity in everyday language, the “manufactured toys” seek to bring visibility to the deeper meaning behind everyday objects and behaviour risks that could inscribe itself into the perpetuation of social order or political gestures with dialectical contradictions.
