Hidden Interior Works

TEATUBE is an extremely complex interior, viewable through a two inch circular window that is set in the side of the VIC sculpture on the corner or Ponsonby Road and Hepburn Street in Western Park.

This is Radford’s acknowledgement of the grandiose and long since demolished Sky Room, which used to serve as a tea room in one of Auckland’s department stores .

Whilst thoroughly representing the embellishments of the interior, the room has been transformed into an endless tunnel that stretches underground and away out of view.

Replicas of an aged elevator engine alluding to floors below or above the one we are looking into repeat down along the tunnel.
