Item consists of a video recording entitled "Blue hammer, door knocking, and I don’t even try". This recording has been described as: "These projects centre around a form of transaction or exchange. In the performance piece Blue Hammer I have gone to a hardware store and created an “activated situation” by holding a promotional test. I have asked the customers to tell me which hammer they prefer and then they can take a free blue plaster hammer which I have made. As the piece continue the lines are blurred and there is confusion about which role each of us belongs to. On this occasion I am examining how our individual needs and freedoms are altered on a daily basis as we move between public and commercial spaces. (taken from liner notes)."
