The Monumental Helium Inflatable Wearable Floating Body Mass

The Monumental Helium Inflatable Wearable Floating Body Mass expands the personal envelope, defies gravity, and provides a delightful new way of moving by forcing its occupant to wear a culturally undesirable physical proportion: a jiggling 13 foot diameter.  

By rejecting societal norms, the wearer achieves corporal, mental and emotional freedom from the heaviness of everyday life.   The Monumental Helium Inflatable Wearable Floating Body Mass was realized as a part of Give Me Shelter: Bodywear, an advanced visual studies workshop taught by Regina Moeller in the Fall of 2007 at MIT.
