<p>A local artist is taking over the Perth Cultural Centre this weekend with an interactive installation. </p>



<p>Presented by the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Bruno Booth&#8217;s <em><a href="https://pica.org.au/whats-on/bruno-booth-dead-ends-and-detours/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dead Ends and Detours</a></em> invites passers-by to experience an obstacle course using a wheelchair, racing against the clock and channelling everything from the Paralympics and Evel Knievel. </p>



<p><img decoding="async" style="color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;" src="https://cms.perthisok.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Dead-Ends-Art-Installation-Perth-Pica-1-819x1024.jpeg" alt="Dead Ends Art Installation Bruno Booth Pica Perth Cultural Centre"></p>



<p>The &#8220;sly-octane&#8221; installation demonstrates that &#8220;disability is not a dirty word&#8221;, and provides insight into the lived experience of physical disability.  </p>



<p>The free installation is open to the public on Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 10AM and 5PM, and is suited for ages 8+.</p>
