DescriptionWork found and acquired at the British Museum toilet room. Apart from the frame embodying the decontextualisation of an appropriated ordinary object, the piece also represents the people cleaning the museum and their labour. The museum’s collection is largely built from the same regions that many of its cleaners come from.
