VITAL SIGNS:
DISSONANCE

2x16x20 // Doubled-Sided UV Print on Acrylic, Custom 3D Printed Hardware (PLA)

This UV-printed monoprint is hung by a custom designed, 3D-printed sign mount that allows the plexiglass sheet to jut into space perpendicular to the wall. This piece is part of a series of five works called Vital Signs. Each address one of Per Espen Stoknes’ five psychological barriers to taking action against climate change: Distance, Doom, Dissonance, Denial, and Identity. The work’s protruding form directly references signs one might see above the doors in a hospital emergency room.
