HUMAN MEMORIAL

“The Human Memorial” (2019-)

“The Human Memorial” is a research project that is part performance, part public engagement, part protest, prompted by the proposition of a mobile plinth and when, where it goes, and who it encounters. The structure is based on a plinth that is used to display the bust of Edward Carpenter (1844-1929) by artist Dorothea Clement (b.1880), in Sheffield Museum’s permanent art collection. Scaled up, the plinth becomes a proposal for the public to step up on the structure and be the ‘monument’.
