FOR A FRIEND

Format: Balloons, Lift, Orpheus Building, University OfUlster, Belfast, N. Ireland

Date: 1996

Towards the end of the day while studying at Belfast Art College in Northern Ireland, hundreds of balloons were inflated and carefully packed into an elevator until it was completely filled. Once the installation was documented, the elevator doors were closed, and the lift was left overnight for someone the next day to press the button, watch the doors open, and see the balloons spill out.
