Royal College of Art Final Show

Kensington Gardens , London

15 to 29 June 2007

Angela’s work for the Royal College of Art Final Show was based on climate change and highlighted air as the precious commodity of the future. In April 2007, Angela travelled 500 miles south west of Beijing to Linfen in Shanxi Province – said to be the most polluted place on earth. She then went directly to Cape Grim in the North West tip of Tasmania, which claims to have the purest air and water in the world. Her exhibition featured a variety of media generated from these locations – film, photography, found objects as well as glass flasks containing air from both places, and jars with river and puddle samples which have now been analysed by scientists in the UK. Two identical white outfits she wore in both locations were on show alongside vials containing the water she extracted after shampooing her hair.
