Flat Source #6
2014
Sealed aluminium box, 135 film negative, certificate
11 x 6 x 2,5 cm
The series Flat Source marks a conceptual gesture: the negative depicting the photograph of a landscape is crossed-out with a blade. After printing the image—which exists as a separate work entitled Flat Source Negative—the negative is sealed within an aluminium box and buried at the exact location marked by the cross on the image. A certificate engraved on the top of the box defines the conditions of its being: only unopened will the box remain an artwork. The location where the box is buried is not disclosed.
