Giant inflatable cobblestones designed by Electric Collective are used as a tool in protests, gaining attention through scale and symbolic meaning.The symbol of the cobblestone references protesters throwing stones at police. Online you can read multiple news reports documenting the reaction of police to this uncontrollable object. However, is the real spectacle the oversized object, or is it the reaction by the authorities; struggling to compose themselves as they rip apart an inflatable?
The Disobedient Ring challenges you to take control and assert power over the object; yet in doing so, the control is returned to the ring. To keep the ring in place, the wearer must also remain in one position.
An inflatable cobblestone was featured in the Disobedient Objects exhibition at the V&A London.
