Light Surgeons at the Geffrye Museum


Went to the Geffrye Museum to see Domestic Archaeology by the Light Surgeons. It is 'a mixed-media installation that will take visitors through a kaleidoscopic, audio-visual investigation of the living room and its meanings' .



Very appropriate for the Geffrye - it consists of a few very good set piece projections unto furniture - kitchen table' bed etc; large projections onto walls showing domestic interiors and talking heads; and found objects of the type reminisicent of all our yesterdays.

Projections were amusing and the room projections gave insight into a range of interiors. Found objects just seemed too obvious to me - all the sort of stuff we sort of people remember. But otherwise well worth visiting.



The Geffrye has become the perfect museum for the Sunday Afternoon - nearby, you can park near it, a bit of brain fodder but not too much, a nice cafe, an interesting installation, a garden to walk around. There and back with brain recharged (lightly) in hour and half.
