For the group exhibition ‘Dr Sinclair’s Drawer’, Sarah Tripp invoked an absent Administrator in the functioning office within Flat Time House (London). The art work produced by Tripp, titled ‘Youth Administrator’, consisted of the site specific installation of a looped HD video and a holographic foil blocked onto a digital print.

The fictional character of the Administrator was invoked within Flat Time House: which was a residence for, and is an artwork by the renound British artist John Latham. John Latham’s house provided the physical and conceptual context for this group exhibition.

The Youth Administrator’s hands were projected in miniature on the corner of the desk within the functioning office space and the words ‘Thank You’ were reversed, debossed in holographic foil and hung on the office wall. As the projection looped, the accompanying voice-over observed the character of the Administrator emerge through a small act of theft.

‘Dr Sinclair’s Drawer’ was curated by Flat Time House (London) and Book Works (London). The exhibition was accompanied by a publication featuring writing by the exhibitors and published by Book Works and Flat Time House. A limited edition of the foil blocked holographic prints is available from Book Works.
