The installation title refers to the long-standing allegory of the ship of fools that has been a powerful theme within western literature and art. This allegorical vessel is inhabited by deranged, frivolous passengers who travel with no captain, sailing ignorant of their direction. The metaphor serves as the framework for the fifteenth-century book Ship O' Fools by Sebastian Brant and the inspiration for Hieronymus Bosch's painting of the same title. Viewers enter the cabin of Cardiff and Miller's creation to encounter a maze filled with playful yet foolish contraptions. It is as if you have entered an underground workshop for nonsense existing in an alternative universe. Sounds and shifting lighting enhance this atmosphere. The objects /experiments that occupy the cabin are more than a reflection of the traveler's obsessions; they are an escape route for the viewer into a forgotten world. Written by Cardiff/Miller See less
