Presented by Interior Design, RMIT University

Not every truck carries boring cargo, inside the mobile box, you might be surprised…

Roger Kemp & Anthony Fryatt offer an ephemeral exhibition – a series of experimental performance pieces exploring interior design within the confines of a 3 tonne truck, looking beyond traditional interior spaces as they occur.

Consider a van, a workhorse utilitarian vehicle such as a 3 tonne Mitsubishi Canter Van, as an exquisite white volume. Opening the double rear doors reveals a precise and defined interior of 2.1 x 2.1 x 4.2 metres - its clean, empty atmosphere starkly contrasting the cluttered and dirty exterior.

Without windows, and therefore no visual access, the van interior is hidden, anonymous and unknown. Across the world there are countless van interiors identical in their make up, exact in their dimensions, matching in their same white internal material. Every day these vans will be packed with a new composition of objects, a remarkable transformative interior that is sealed and hidden to the outside world.

A van interior when loaded and full is a complex collection and arrangement of objects, tightly packed, carefully stacked and slotted together, often disparate items interlocking side by side. Its construction is a frustrating and playful game of design.

3 tonne ‘o’ space will play with the curious aspects of this transformative, highly compressed, dense and impenetrable interior, parking itself and its contents at various locations and events throughout the festival.
