For Every Page That Unfolds
Format: Performance and installation
Materials: L shaped wooden reflective platforms, metal structures, magnets, iron sand
Year: 2017
For Every Page That Unfolds is a modular sculpture made of L shaped wooden, reflective platforms and metal structures. Each platform stands flat at a 90 degree angle when placed on its metal structure, which bears enough weight to support the artist's body. Magnets are attached to each folded metal piece, and the entire sculpture sits atop a plane of iron sand.
During the performance, the artist stands on a flat platform and turns each structure from inside to outside, securing it in a position able to hold their weight. Each module balances only at a specific bearing, unique to the fold of its metal piece. The goal is to construct an elevated, steady platform using every module, bridging across the iron sand. Relocating each piece continuously shifts the plane beneath it, and the sculpture's beginning and final arrangement were both specific to the gallery space it was built in.
