THE GUIDE 2009 New York City
Sculpture: Installation in variable locations within NYC, USA
This artwork consists of a series of piles of leaves, that move in the smooth motion of a resting breath, the piece is silent except for the sound of the leaves touching one another. Site specific to the city, the artwork is installed in both outdoor and indoor spaces, and lasts anything from a few hours to a few weeks.
These selected photographs show the initial installation during the fall of 2008 when the work was placed, filmed and photographed in 25 spaces throughout New York City during the day and night*.
The installations exist with no explanation and are intended for both live and recorded viewing. The recorded film consist of a never-ending documentation, that records the artwork in every location it is shown, throughout its existence. Recording the relationship between the environment, people and the artwork through time.
