Trophy At The V&A

Media

Trophy was a temporary installation created in the Cast Courts of the V&A Museum.

The museum wished to engage with ceramics in a unique way and to encourage interest in non-traditional approaches to material specialist interests. Clare Twomey’s installation comprised 4000 birds made from Wedgwood Jasper blue clay displayed throughout the Cast Courts; the work considered the nature of the building and its historic role, to permanently hold a valuable collection for public view. The birds could be taken away, creating a unique activity in the context of the museum: visitors were able to effectively steal an object from the V&A’s collections. We filmed this on 4 cameras and then commissioned a music track from James Furnside.
