Ladder, 2010
Aluminium ladder
The work takes an everyday household object as its starting point. The ladder is modified and deprived of its original function, so that the beginning and end of the journey are there but literally the steps in between are taken away.
Working Title (Digging), 1995 (background)
CD, CD player, 2 hi-fi speakers, amplifier, cabling
The sound work is created with two speakers: one plays the sounds of a shovel digging, the other, at some distance, the sound of the earth landing.
