Informed by diversion safes, Concealarium investigates illusions, diversions, defense, and concealment. This project is intended to interrogate events and concerns ranging from “global terror”, undocumented labor, extraordinary renditions, and border crossing.
Conealarium was originally produced during a four-day workshop in CSU Chico entitled Built for Life: Secret Deaths, with students in the department of Art and Art History.
