Growing up in Tamworth, Staffordshire, many of Sam's relatives worked at Drayton Manor theme park. Many years later, Sam also spent several summers working there as a Games Operator. Having being exposed both to the 'dream-like' world that theme parks offer, Sam invites participants to enjoy her own dystopian 'dream-world' environment.
An immersive installation combining set, props, performance and participatory games. Capital World appropriates the visual language and interactive structure of a theme park to explore questions about education, feminine roles, the minimum wage, fame, commodity and leisure time.
Capital World is made up of 3 interactive games, a gift shop and a photo booth that gives you the opportunity to have your photo taken with the artist.
