Bruno Booth’s Dead Ends and Detours puts the audience in a wheelchair and demonstrates that disability is not a dirty word. Playful and subversive, this interactive outdoor installation invites passers-by to compete in an obstacle course outside PICA in the Perth Cultural Centre. Using a wheelchair, race against the clock and the system in a game of will.
Commissioned by PICA and Next Wave through Kickstart for Next Wave Festival 2020.
Dead-ends & Detours is commissioned by PICA and Next Wave and has been supported by the WA Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries
Bruno’s practice is an attempt to depict the mundane, farcical and extraordinary experiences that are provided to him as a condition of his disability. Up until this point he has used painting as a way to express his ideas, creating large, boldly shaped canvasses finished with finely executed gradients. However, more recently Bruno has been engaging with his experience of disability and how that effects him on a day to day basis whilst navigating the world. Bruno recently completed an artist residency at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (PICA). During this residency he explored notions of disability and how these ideas could be expressed through immersive art installations.
