1989 Home Rule - 1.jpg

The domestic scene of a cupboard, television displays and everyday objects (lamp, briefcase, baseball and teacup, inspired by Méret Oppenheim’s Breakfast in Fur) are all covered with fun fur of Yves Klein blue. Images on the screen of domestic activity and chores are interrupted by the crying of a child on a monitor at floor level.
