Further research of major project
I researched more references about my major work.
I researched artists using pills or medicines or drugs.
Pill installation
The massive art installation is essentially made of old worn clothes donated by Muscovites, with over 200 square meters of red-and-white cloth draped over a frame fashioned into the shape of a giant pill. The artwork also has an entrance so the visitors where this creation is displayed, can literally see the inner workings of this installation.
When people asked what kind of maladies her ‘pill’ can treat, Yin Xiuzhen said that there are different kinds of ailments, physical and psychological, and each requires a specific cure.
She said..
"But each cure has an antinomy: if you take the correct dose, it will cure you, but if you take too much, the cure becomes a poison. But by getting inside my pill, a person would at least get cured of autumn blues,"
Inside the Pill

He have been thought relation between art and disease.
The human need to ameliorate suffering, to engage in a creative practice that mitigates the sense of loss brought on by illness or in some way counteracts the illness itself (however illness is imagined) is universal. For instance when we attempt to bring about change in the body itself through a mimetic process of healing. He's work is inspired from HIV.
He is San Francisco artist. He has been living HIV since 1984. Thus mostly his work is related with HIV. He has been collecting empty HIV bottles for his work.
“Medicine Man 2”, 2010, mixed media installation
He made this work using over 300 empty HIV medication bottles collected during the past 15 years.
The suspended sculpture is over seven feet tall. Strands of steel wire are threaded with translucent orange and white bottles of various sizes to create the elements of the floating figure. Encircling the human-shaped cluster of bottles are 139 syringes, each tipped with a red droplet.
He used syringes therefore when I saw this works, I felt wired and I got goose bumps from the works.
But when I understood about his works, finally I can understood the work.
On the surface it can understand very well but if once we understand works, we can understand easily.
