Champagne by Mark Gubb

A multi-screen video (wide-screen monitors, installed portrait, to create a tall tower of screens).

On the top screen is a full-frame shot of a flute of champagne standing on a tray. The tray wobbles, causing the flute to fall from the tray.

In slow motion, the flute falls towards the floor, moving from one screen to the next, until we see the glass smash on the floor.

Once it has come to rest, the audio of a room full of people cheering plays.

The end.

Nike Air Bathroom by Mark Gubb

This is a sculpture that consists of a pair of large Nike Air trainers nailed to the wall (the soles of the shoes flat on the wall, the shoe facing ‘up’ the wall, with the nail going through the toes).

The two trainers are positioned either side of a ceramic urinal divider, of the kind you find in men’s public bathrooms to divide the space between the urinals.

Positioned inside each trainer is a single urinal-cake (the perfumed cleaning blocks that are placed in urinals).

The sculpture should be positioned on the wall at urinal height.
