Detailed
drawings of students' rooms are displayed in animated neon on two exterior
facades of Newarke Point. They can be seen across Leicester. This process
transfers the personal domain to the public domain. Unknown Student celebrates
particular students' life by accurately documenting all their possessions.
These objects date in time allowing the observer to guess the time that
the artwork was installed. Unknown Student is concerned with the most
pressing issues which students deal with when they first leave home, which
tend to focus on domestic survival rather than academic success. The artwork
is a monument to individual students, picked at random, whether they become
a great 'success' or simply carry on unknown within the mass of society.
