description
Untitled fits within a category of transfixed objects. This category contains objects that gain a certain autonomy from an internal rigour which is revealed in its dimensions, plan or cross section. Perhaps it functionally and formally most resembles a column. It serves no other purpose than to present itself in the room and organize it as such. From a series of notches on the object’s side, one can read the exact height of the room. Through a horizontal section it reveals both a balance and an internal contradiction. The iconic I-beam is mirrored by a counterfeit composite of two T-sections. At first glance, the object appears to be archetypal. On a second sight, it can only be seen as self-sabotaging.
process
All steel profiles are welded as to obtain two moveable halves. The whole is hand painted in several coats. All height markings are manually punched. The object is brought close to ceiling height and brought into tension by using the ratchet straps.
