This continuously looped animation illustrates Art’s escape from its high-status and privileged life within the museum to live a series of ordinary but passionate lives. In the first scene the walls of a classically shaped museum fall down . . . to become a takeaway box for plaited bread. The bread inside is then shown to evolve into a dog-jacket for a thin whippet. The video continues in this pattern of depicting one form of Art’s life evolve into another. In the final scenes we watch Art as a boxer, pacing and throwing punches before incurring an injury. A bandage used to cover the wound eventually morphs into the recognisable shape of museum walls. Once again, Art is captured.

This animation came from the view that life itself should be restored to an important position when considering the art that observes and depends upon it.
