Realized in San Diego, for IN/SITE92, A faithful reconstruction of the upstairs room with all its content was a situation in a warehouse space, announced to the local art going public as an installation. A workshop, a kind of lab, containing a group of mechanisms that performed therapeutic functions. Some of them were in working order, others were assembled. They were appliances and could be applied to and by whoever came to see them. Olav Westphalen was presented as a lab technician or therapist or fellow patient most of the time.
