Double Assembly Text one-page booklet PDF

The setting is in the corner of a cream-colored room with two tall windows on the left wall. The video has been time-lapse recorded, and the artist flickers in and out of frame disassembling one translucent, square fabric sculpture and assembling another in its place, then repeating the action of disassembly and reassembly for another fabric sculpture. Sunlight changes outside, sometimes flooding the space with light and almost obliterating the image. The video clip is then reversed, and all the actions of the artist are repeated in reverse order of assembly and disassembly.

Four images of the opened page spreads and cover of Double Assembly Text. On each page spread is text plus a horizontal image slice of different cyan, magenta, and yellow organza layers. The artist’s hand holds each spread open.
