The Cleaners

Overview

The Cleaners is an interactive art piece from Shock Therapy Productions, and it starts life as a three-walled plain white living room, seven metres in the air. "Starts" is the operative word here though; throughout the installation's run, creators Hayden Jones and Sam Foster undertake the Sisyphean task of trying to keep the room pristine — yet there's a supply of paint-filled balloons and a catapult at ground level. Uh oh! What follows, and what we all learn in the process, is anyone's guess. Whatever happens, everyone's going to love chucking a load of paint at two blokes in cleaning uniforms.
