"Please Be Seated" - Nicole Cohen

Nicole Cohen saw the Getty's collection of 18th Century French chairs and wanted to sit in them.

Of course she couldn't, but she made the chairs the subject of a video installation piece wherein participants get to see what they would look like sitting in the chairs. Working with Mike Fair to design replicas, Cohen fused live action, video and functionality into one participatory scheme.
