Mirror | Feedback | Section (2009)
Curated by David Senior, NY Art Book Fair, MoMA PS1, 2009
Book resulting from a performance:
The word “MIRROR” was written on one side of a plywood board using carbon paper
One side of a triangular piece of glass was blackened with smoke until opaque, thereby
reflective on its opposite side
“FEEDBACK” was written on the same plywood board
The reflective side of the glass was blackened with smoke, so now opaque black on both sides
“SECTION” was written on the same board
The glass was placed between a folded sheet of paper, which was then placed between the two
plywood boards – the board with the text at the front
It was then hit with a hand-held sledgehammer – causing the glass to break
and printing an impression of smoke from both sides of the breaking glass simultaneously
The boards with folded sheet of paper and printed image were bound using tape
- the text forming the front of the book
Plywood, paper, smoke, glass debris, masking tape
Dimensions 34 x 23 cm
