Mimesis, 2007

Drooped Reproduction Image

Mimesis continues a sequence of exploring minimal gestures with reproductions, this time by removing an unusual reproduction image of a sculpture by John McCracken (rare, in that it photographs the sculpture head on, where they are conventionally photographed from the side to accentuate the sculpture’s propped position against a gallery wall). Here, a material distinction between paper and sculpture is played out, as the reproduction image droops, and its shadow curves.
