I lost her near Fantasy Island. Life has not been the same, 2006 This work is part of our ongoing investigation into the commercial flower industry, looking specifically this time at the haulage of flowers from auction to wholesalers. For one day, Friday 14 July 2006, a jack-knifed lorry shed its load of 25,000 flowers across Centre Promenade, Bristol City Centre. At 6pm, passers-by began to take the flowers and by 7pm the installation was entirely dispersed across Bristol. A printed card mailed out a few days prior to the installation can be viewed by clicking here. The work was commissioned by Situations to coincide with the British Art Show in Bristol. Situations has produced a paper on the project with two commissioned essays and transcripts of peoples responses throughout the day. It is excellent and can be viewed by clicking here. Images from the installed work can be seen below.
