An introduction to Transitional Object (PsychoBarn), Cornelia Parker's major installation in the courtyard of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, inspired by Hitchcock's Psycho and Edward Hopper's paitings. 

 

Half stage set, half sculpture, Transitional Object (PsychoBarn) was first shown on the roof of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, against the skyline of Central Park. Transitional Object enters into conversation with Cornelia Parker to explore her major installation in the courtyard of the Royal Academy.

 

With over 50 colour illustrations including installation shots, this publication also investigates the resonances of now siting the work in London.
