The Inside Out Inflatable Room 
by Ana Rewakowicz

The Inside Out Inflatable Room installation is an inflatable room made from rubber latex, which I constructed to explore the concepts of public/private and exterior/interior that weave through my previous works and to think about how  the concept of a "room" is an extension of the human body. 
For this piece, I made a rubber latex mould (a skin) of one of the rooms in my old apartment and then created an external support structure during a six-week artist residency at La Chambre Blanche, in Québec City, in order to inflate the entire piece. 
Originally presented in a large gallery space, the sculpture creates a two-fold viewing situation for the visitor, who can look at the exterior structure of "the room within a room," as well as enter the structure and experience the whimsical and unsettling space inside.
