The Hollow, 2010-2011.

The Hollow is comprised of a series of photographs presenting a collection of sensual Duchampian objects, a photographic document, and a publication. While directly referencing Alfred Stieglitz’s work, I re-enact the history of modern art with my photographs of a sculpture mould, which have the shape of a flower, of a pair of egg-scissors, or of a belt used in a magic trick where an illusionist attempts to pass a sword through his assistant’s body, an Objet-dard (pun on art object and pointy object, ie knife).

The image of The Little Mermaid statue is a photographic document of a subversive action by Jørgen Nash, the brother of Asger Jorn, of the Situationist International movement, who decapitated the sculpture. The image presenting female artist in the studio is titled Tulip Hysteria Coordinating 1917, after Duchamp's painting proposal for the Armory Show which was later replaced by the infamous Fountain.
