| I. Readymade Postcard of Readymade Art
Post-card is the result of joining 3 'readymades' by analogy:
Duchamp's Bottle Dryer, the Coca-Cola bottle, and a postcard
of "Christ Enthroned" by Jan Van Eyck (also objects produced in series,
although with different aesthetic intentions). In this way, the juxtaposition
of 3 powerful icons (one of them invisible, only referred to in the postcard)
activates their corresponding connotations: industrial, cultural, and
religious. The stamp, another readymade, is a spiraling galaxy that sends
the postcard to a more 'scientific' dynamic level (optic disks, View,
etc).
II. The Clew
A visual interpretation of Marcel Duchamp,
A Bruit Secret [With Hidden Noise] 1916, in a sequence of seven images.
