Cola

Thomas Street Campus, MA Degree Show, NCAD. 2008

1 Hour Duration

The work Cola involved Conway constructing a steel tank. Which was filled with Cola (soft drink) with him submerged, in a basement room. The tank was split in two, the top section to facilitate him, the bottom section, absorbed the Cola from above. Once all the above had emptied from the top chamber to the bottom, it would refill by way of a pump. Until he manually released it all into the space, after approximately one hour.

Conway used the idea of transforming, the figure appearing from the depths of a steel box immersed in dark liquid cola, and again disappearing, replicating his breathing. As if imagining what may lie behind dark matter in deep space.
