The sequel

The platform made of medium density fiberboard sits about six inches above the floor and acts as a shallow pool from which the rusted legs of three steel office chairs submerge into. A foot deep wall about four feet high stands directly behind, attached to the base of its adjoining structure, forming a reverse L-shape. On the opposite side is a twenty gallon aquarium perched atop a narrow pedestal, its guts revealed. From room to object, the whole feeling of this piece transforms physically, embracing a newer yet traditional formalism. The three spigots connected by hose to the tank from underneath slowly leaks, drips a droplet of water every minute or so onto the cracked vinyl seat of each chair.

Exposed lumber studs replace mudded surface in deference to its cardiovascular system that is hidden plumbing dangle as intertwined knots. Perhaps milk replaces water and video, the photographs which acts to update the original translation beyond the politics of representation.
