'Is this your future' is a twelve-part installation commissioned from Fiona Raby and Tony Dunne produced for the Energy Gallery at the Science Museum in 2004. The installation imagined three possible scenarios for alternative future energy use: hydrogen, recycled human poo, and animal blood. Each scenario is presented through a photograph of a family using the alternative energy, alongside 2 or 3 objects. The photographs were taken by Jason Evans, the objects were produced or sourced by Dunne & Raby. In the hydrogen scenario, a little girl earns her pocket money by selling hydrogen. The photograph shows her being waved off by her parents. The objects comprise a hydrogen bottle, birthday card and dress uniform. In the recycled poo scenario, collecting and gifting poo is part of daily life. The photograph shows a girl giving her gift-wrapped poo to the hostess of a birthday party. The objects present this fake gift-wrapped poo, alongside a lunchbox for storing poo alongside lunch, and a leaflet advertising a special loo seat. In the scenario for using animal blood, domestic animals are used to produce energy. The photograph shows two children breeding hamsters for their blood. These are accompanied by an academic book on the subject, and a radio that runs off blood in a bag in the shape of a teddy bear, designed to be more appealing to children. Is this your future? 2004
