The Ghost Room installation was a collaboration with Derya Hanife Altan in June 2009. The room includes two sitting areas and five framed ghost portraits. Stories collected from Elsewhere staff informed the portrait characters, created from the museum's collection of clothing. The frames surrounding each portrait were cut out of the wallpaper, along with a design around the sitting area. As the deterioration of the wallpaper continues the "aura" of the chairs will appear more clearly, blurring the line between building as maker and artist as maker.
