in the wake of a mammoth
site-specific installation, museum display, negative photograph of fossil, reflection of fossil, Geological Museum Budapest, 2003
Created for an exhibition curated by Dóra Maurer at the Geological Museum of Budapest, the work responds to a large mammoth trace fossil in the museum’s collection.
A photographic negative of the fossil is installed in a glass display case in front of the original, aligned so that the traces coincide from a particular viewing position. At the point of alignment, the positive and negative almost cancel one another and the image nearly disappears, flickering back into
a cemetery of ropes
series of prints on linen canvas
