About this artwork

Seen from behind, seven grey figures dressed in suits are standing, sitting and slouching on some wooden benches. They all seem to be looking at something we can’t see. Walk around and you see a collection of identical oriental-looking faces - all smiling and laughing at something that seems to have vanished. It’s like an illusion!

Think about what makes you laugh? Imagine you are performing in front of the group, what stories would you tell them? Imagine a magician has played a trick on the group turning them all grey. Think about what they were like before this happened, what colour clothes would they have been wearing and what would have brought them together?
