Fat Man & Little Boy, 2019MATERIALS
VARIOUS ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES TAPED & ROPED TOGETHER, RED CART, CABLES & BOOKS

DIMENSIONS
VARIABLE

Around 30 electronic items were all tied and taped to each other, and plugged into one switch that simultaneously turns on all the devices at once to make it some sort of electric-hazard-bomb that could short circuit and catch fire if left on for more than a few seconds. The cart houses all the plugs and the switch, along with the tools used to make the bomb, and the books on art I had been reading until then to make the piece (stacked upward to loosely replicate the shape of a mushroom cloud).
