+ WAX TABLE
A hollow wax table designed for a series of Happenings - 4 interactive installations in the form of a ritual and dinner party combined. This wax table was used as the main artefact for the event - first, as a “clock” for the ritual segment and second, as the dinner table for food to be served on after. It started with a bank of 30kg of estirinea wax that was melted down and casted into an organic wet clay mold to make each table shape. During the event, the wax table gets destroyed by the dinner guests and the broken pieces are collected, purified and reused into making the next wax table. It is a practice of life and death of a material and its continuous transformation from one state to another.
Below are photos of the wax table in its complete state, destroyed and additional diagrams of how the wax table works.
