FARMÀCIA RING

CLIENT Uli Marchsteiner PLACE Barcelona DATE 2003
Videoinstallació for the exhibition by austrian designer Uli Marchsteiner at H2O galery.
The ancient romans used certain rings for guarding poison in their
interiors. The idea of carrying medicine in a discreet way inspired
this piece, of which ten units were manufactured in silver, with a
hinged lid and the symbol of the pharmacy engraved on it. The
presentation, in the gallery itself, explored the universe of pills,
both in therapeutic and recreational use, together with texts and music
and a video installation by Oriol Caba on the subject of the their
consumption.
