Light Switch (Canadian), 1992–2008
35 mm slide, slide mask, slide projector with 70-120 mm lens
A single slide projects a life-size image of a domestic light switch against a white wall. The Light Switch series is a key to Floyer’s oeuvre, characterized by a deceptive simplicity, sense of humour, and awareness of the absurd.
Highlight, 2006
Light projection, projector, balloon, metal mask
A balloon is lying on the floor. A small trapezoid is projected onto it, creating the illusion that light from a different source might be the source of this reflection.
Reversed, 2005
Mounted C-print
The sign “Reserved” is formed in mirror writing. At first glance, it appears that the artist has simply reversed the text. But she turned around the writing and thus playfully demonstrates the complex process of comprehension of linguistic meaning.
