This project explored the contrasting aspects within man being both civilised and animal. Man is undeniably the dominant species on this planet. Yet despite this Man still has those base aspects of him/herself that are undeniably linked to that animal past, those aspects of lust, anger, hunger that are deemed unacceptable in our modern civilisation
The audience is presented with two boards representing the two different sides to our lives: that of civilised man and that of the barbarism of the animal. The viewer enters the 'head', which is both animal and human, and is subjected to both of these attitudes as they turn around within in it to experience the contrasts.
The head also acts as a sensory deprivation space, in which external sound is muffled and their sight is directed through small eye holes in each face. This puts the audience in the uncomfortable position of facing these ideas forced to be in the position of the liberated animal or restrained man.
