Description

Cardboard boxes were building blocks for a ruin (or a cave or a deserted tomb) and hollowed shells, constructing a melancholy metaphor of previous use, of things evacuated and left behind. The boxes had a deadening effect on sound and the temperature dropped on entering the work; referenced not only minimalism and arte povera, but a European romantic tradition where the deserted tomb or temple was used as a memento mori, as well as our own ontological lost innocences where we had used boxes to construct our own shelters.
