The second SPOTtimespotTIME walking tour sees the artist take to the streets of Sheffield as she invites participants to join her en route, where she will be encouraging discussions on the topic of identity in relation to our modern world. Robinson aims to collect a mass of fingerprints from 7 UK cities which will collectively form a single piece. (In 2015 Elaine completed a Bristol fingerprint walkabout to measure public interest)
The finished Artwork will include seven panels of fingerprints held in clear resin each collected from the seven cities visited across the UK as well as a collection of supporting documentary material presenting the public’s insight on the topic of identity.
The work asks individuals to consider questions surrounding our changing identity; How do we react when we are asked for our fingerprint? In an increasing digital age is our fingerprint something we should be reluctant to handover freely or in reality has this physical identifier become obsolete?
