Cardboard Actions
2006, video stills, three-channel video and installation
This started as a performative work which then became a three-channel video and an installation. I worked with recycled cardboard through a series of simple, unrehearsed tasks or “actions” which were recorded on video over several months. Each action resulted in a temporary sculpture which I observed and documented before moving on to the next action. In this work, I am finding sculptural forms, not through direct, intentional design, but as the result of a simple activity and taking a record of its result.
