Pigmented inkjet prints, foam board, tape.
Overall dimensions: 250 x 410 x 50 cm (8.3x13.5 x 1.6 ft.)

Site-specific installation of foam board pedestals and computer-generated photographic renderings that have the aspect of metallic cylinders and spheres. All reflections are printed on paper and adjusted to a single-point perspective. The layout replicates the installation design of the seminal exhibition Machine Art, organized by Philip Johnson at MoMA in 1934. This was the first show to consider the installation of the exhibition as a ideological device, directly influencing the role of the modern viewer as a product consumer.
