Artemis & Apollo

Two aluminised fireproof suits, metal wire, laundry pegs, 2023

'Artemis and Apollo' is an installation featuring garments from real aluminized fireproof suits that protect against thermal radiation and high temperatures. They are often worn by people in the chemical industry, explosion-proof testers, firefighters and aerospace auditors. Hung on a metal wire with clothespins, the suits appear to be part of a mundane, domestic laundry scene, waiting to dry between everyday uses. One set (size L) can withstand up to 500°C and the other (size XL) can withstand up to 1200°C.

Part of the ongoing project 'Chemistry and Physics in the Household’.
