BOOTH & SONS: SAFETY MATCHES
Product Description: A
Small matchbox constructed using card. The box is bright pink and contains an
illustration of a man. This image can be
flipped on its head, revealing the man to be burning.
Inside the box are a series of eight, 6 cm by 4 cm cards
detailing various phobias. The imagery used draws upon the Rorschach test, inky
imagery which, when identified, says something about the mental state of the
individual. On the reverse side are a
series of illustrations reflective of the phobia. With no additional textual
information, the imagery is crucial in identifying the phobia. Each of these
cards has been folded in half, in order to fit within the matchbox. On top of the cards is a miniature figure
created using matchsticks and thread. It is tagged, labeling the phobia:
“PEDIOPHOBIA”.
Further examples of the phobia include: nyctophobia,
anatophobia and pectrophobia.
Publication Details: Card shell containing a box, Folded, laser printed
cards, Matchstick figure.
