‘Doctor & the Advocate’ was a study of borders and their meanings. New and existing geo-political disputes result in policies that aspire to re-shape and disconnect human interactions and movements. They aim to build physical walls and barriers between people. However building barriers does not alter how deeply we are all connected, and vulnerable to the same diseases. The work display a neon sign with the words ‘Plague Doctor for Hire’ and shows an image of a medieval Plague Doctor. The idea of such a thing could be construed as absurdist. However the work calls for a global resilience and solidarity. We can build high walls, but we still need to work together and co-operate with one another. The work was installed as a temporary site-specific installation at Advocate’s Close in Edinburgh’s old town. The photographic image is documentation of the installation. Finally there may be an element of prophecy in the work, as the world was hit with the global Corona virus pandemic in 2020.
