Caroline Morris - Museum of Curiosities; Performed at the Ferens Art Gallery & at 54° North.
"She took small things and boxed them & bagged them & bottled them & pinned them & photographed them and when she had finished she laid them out and displayed them. Sometimes she would try and persuade people that they were real and sometimes they were real and unreal at the same time.".
The Museum of Curiosities is a collection of objects that necessitate the suspension of your disbelief. Once you have had an opportunity to take in the richness and rarity of the collection you will be enchanted.
