Materials
aluminum ladders, pup tent, rubber tires, wooden doors
Description
The compact shelter constructed of discarded materials sits in an inner city garden, lush with flowers and foliage behind a plain wooden fence. Four chair backs, made from aluminum ladders, hold up a pitched roof consisting of two doors in a wooden frame. Between the chairs is a pup tent which doubles as a table base. Climbing one of the ladders up into the attic-room, you find rubber tires fastened closely together to form a hammock.

Harutyun Simonyan Uterus, 2002
The installation in the waiting room of Erlaufer Bahnhof is a kind of anti-monument that symbolizes the importance of the monument in relation to the collective and the individual symbolically with the terms “outside” and “inside”. In the video “Uterus”, the Armenian artist returned to a fetal state in an imaginary womb. At the same time, he transmitted the outside of the station to the interior of the waiting room via video camera.
