What happens when you recreate a public interior entirely out of wood and exhibit it in a gallery context? United States artist Roxy Paine has been doing just that and, late last year, exhibited Checkpoint, a detailed woodcarved and constructed sculpture of an airport security area. Every machine and piece of paraphernalia used to screen passengers has been duplicated (with highly skewed perspective) from birch and maple wood in a sort of twisted hyper-realism. The 4.0-metre-high by 3.5-metre-wide and 6.0-metre-deep diorama (or prototype on steroids) has been said to recreate and accentuate the emotional responses many people have to such interior spaces. Paine previously completed Carcass, a similar sculpture in which he studied the interior detailing of a fast-food service area.
