Semiramis Eldorado's Exit Sign Installation at Fruithouse Gallery
Semiramis Eldorado's exhibition 'Panic in the Streets' at Fruithouse Gallery covers four walls with green exit sign figures running in all directions. The installation has drawn criticism for potential emotional distress, with some visitors contacting therapists and Samaritans receiving calls. The gallery consulted a Cultural Counsellor who warned about lack of inclusivity and diversity in the figures. A notice now states the signs are not to be obeyed. The exhibition runs until June.
