Lockerbie Witness Box (Exhibition Version), 2003
Nathan Coley, b.1967
Rosewood, laminates, aluminium, steel, carpet, plywood, electrical components and chair





"This work consists of an exact replica of the witness box used at the Lockerbie bombing trial alongside eight of a series of 12 drawings representing evidence presented during the trial. The trial was held in the Netherlands, but for 36 weeks the small area of land where the court stood was temporarily legally Scottish. Coley challenges what we take as 'real', by looking at the arbitrary rules that enable a country to 'appear' somewhere else and the assumption that a person is telling the truth because they are sitting in a certain place."
