urinals

In 2004, Shu Lea Cheang created an installation inspired by the aborted movie for the Detox music festival in Norway. In a darkened space, seven urinals lined one wall, each lit by miniature projectors aimed so that videos appeared over the drains. The center urinal showcased goldfish swimming in a bowl. The videos in the flanking urinals showed a tight shot of a contracting and distending anus that seemed to be squirming. Ropped into the drains, were condoms that looked heavy with jism.
